I thought that the last octet could not be 0 (address of the network)
or 255 (broadcast). Is this not the same for the Loopback?
127.0.0.0/8 refers to the network, not to a specific address. The final
0 octet would be the broadcast address if used in an IP packet.
Well actually it is the 0.0.0 ending part that refers to the network,
since this is a /8 network.
So 127.3.4.0 is a perfectly valid address even if it ends with a 0.
The "0 at last octet" rules only applies to /24 networks.
