Does lox interfaces support looping ethernet traffic?

[Shani Michaeli]

Hi,
I'm trying to send traffic to myself (server and client on the same machine) using rdma connection management.
I'm failing.
What I saw is that in netstat -rn all traffic with my IP destination go through lo0, and therefore the rtalloc1 function (in file route.c) returns lo0.
My problem is when using arpresolve (in file if_ether.c) afterwards, in order to retrieve the MAC, the arpresolve fails for lo0 (I can see also that it doesn't have MAC addr).
So my question is what should I do in order to be able to send traffic to myself using the functions rtalloc1 and arpresolve?

Thanks,
