IPv4 - Internal Host Loopback Address Range


[IPv6](/ipv6) has reserved a special address to be used as the loopback address.  This address is used by a node to send an IPv6 packet to itself.  The reserved address is the following:

`0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1/128` also written as `::1/128`

The [IPv4](/ipv4) counterpart [IPv4 - Internal Host Loopback Address Range](/ipv4-internal-host-loopback-address-range) is defined as:

`127.0.0.0/8`
