I know this is draft, but curious already: how does this differ from the current loopback we're able to do? It does loopback on a single interface? Why are we looking for that?

What we have now is not considered loopback. Loopback is a "local only" path for a packet, whereas right now the packet actually leaves the NIC and is sent on the wire before coming back. This new mode is useful if you don't have a NIC.
