Said another way, Linux will not allow foreign traffic (non localhost) on the loopback interface for security reasons. I believe this to be a design decision based on security.
I have to confess that i have almost none experience with other network OSs different than Linux. But i really think that this idea of loopback interface do NOT connects to real interfaces it not a linux decision. It seems to me that this is basically the whole loopback idea: a network interface that connects the machine to itself, thus allowing TCP/IP to fully exist even if the machine is not connect to 'real' networks.
The loopback interface is not 'connected' to the network, i really dont think that this would be possible to configure or tweak.
