The following diagram illustrates key LoopBack modules, how they are related, and their dependencies.ĭynamically mock-up models and expose them as APIs without worrying about persisting. Store data, upload files, send emails, create push notifications, register users, and perform other actions provided by data sources and services.Ĭlients can call LoopBack APIs directly using Strong Remoting, a pluggable transport layer that enables you to provide backend APIs over REST, WebSockets, and other transports. Using these APIs, apps can query databases, The LoopBack framework is a set of Node.js modules that you can use independently or together to quickly build REST APIs.Ī LoopBack application interacts with data sources through the LoopBack model API, available locally within Node.js, remotely over REST, and via native client APIs for If you are an IBM customer, for technical support see the IBM Support Portal. For more information, see Installing IBM API Connect. That said.Note: IBM API Connect is an end-to-end API management solution that uses LoopBack to create APIs, and provides integrated build and deployment tools.
The loopback ones by the way) for whatever purpose you may add the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" but it isn't the same thing as the virtual "lo" one used in *nix systems
RX bytes:2802587448 (2.6 GiB) TX bytes:2802587448 (2.6 GiB)īecause in Windows, the virtual adapter used for the "loopback" address range is emulated straight inside the stack there's no need for a "lo" interface then, if you want/need a virtual adapter (to which you may then assign whatever IP settings - except TX packets:10956814 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:10956814 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 What I'm comparing with this with is many Linux distrobutions which have a lo or local adapter card that do this by default and wondering why MS doesn't do the same? for other purposesĪs for the why it isn't installed by default, the answer is simple, because not everyone may or will need it, and since installing it just requires a few seconds, people which knows about such a "virtual adapter" and needs it won't have any problem in installing With any real card such an adapter may be useful too in several cases, for example you may use it to offer to application needing a network connection an adapter to bind-to even if there's no real network connection available.

Machine" itself and can be used for local testing and similar purposes on the other hand, the "loopback adapter" is a device driver which can be installed as any other NIC driver, such a driver emulates a NIC (network card) but in reality it doesn't interface The first one is an address (range), that is 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 (although commonly people refers to 127.0.0.1) which is built straigh INTO the network stack such an address isn't bound to any real network adapter but just belongs to the "local
#Loopback windows install#
Why does the MS loopback adapter not allow you to use 127.0.0.1 ? Also, why wouldn't MS Install that adapter by default?įirst of all, it sounds like you are confusing the "loopback address" (or better said - subnet since it's the whole 127/8 subnet) with the "loopback adapter"
