When is the loopback > ever used as a source address? Whenever it is also used as a destination address. For an isolated machine that has no network interfaces, the loopback address is its *only* unicast address. IP or SIPP is still useful in that scenario, to allow network-capable clients talk to co-resident servers without needing special-case code to deal with intra-machine communication.
