Hi

I just see that the mtu in lo is different from standard eth 1500

Any meaning of it?

You transfer huge amounts of data on loopbacks similar to sockets. Supporting large MTU's is appropriate, and given the virtual nature of loopbacks, is probably generally designed to handle the buffers that transfer the data.

How about cisco / juniper loopback?

Thank you so much
