1. Receive buffer pool type. This configuration setting controls the memory placement of the receive data buffers. Buffers may either be placed in main memory or in a dedicated, possibly higher speed, memory region (see point #13, below). This field should be set to one of the two macros:
   
   NET_IF_MEM_TYPE_MAIN
NET_IF_MEM_TYPE_DEDICATED

2. Receive buffer size. This field sets the size of the largest receivable packet, and can be set to match the application’s requirements.
   
   Note: If packets are sent from a socket bound to a non local-host address, to the local host address (127.0.0.1), then the receive buffer size must be configured to match the maximum transmit buffer size, or maximum expected data size, that could be generated from a socket bound to any other interface.
    
3. Number of receive buffers. This setting controls the number of receive buffers that will be allocated to the loopback interface. This value must be set greater than or equal to one buffer if loopback is receiving only UDP. If TCP data is expected to be transferred across the loopback interface, then there must be a minimum of four receive buffers.
    
4. Receive buffer alignment. This setting controls the alignment of the receive buffers in bytes. Some processor architectures do not allow multi-byte reads and writes across word boundaries and therefore may require buffer alignment. In general, it is probably best practice to align buffers to the data bus width of the processor which may improve performance. For example, a 32-bit processor may benefit from having buffers aligned on a 4-byte boundary.
   
   
5. Receive buffer offset. The loopback interface receives packets starting at base index 0 in the network buffer data areas. This setting configures an offset from the base index of 0 to receive loopback packets. The default offset of 0 should be configured. However, if loopback receive packets are configured with an offset, the receive buffer size must also be adjusted by the additional number of offset bytes.
   
   
6. Transmit buffer pool type. This configuration setting controls the memory placement of the transmit data buffers for the loopback interface. Buffers may either be placed in main memory or in a dedicated, possibly higher speed, memory region (see point #13, below). This field should be set to one of two macros:
   NET_IF_MEM_TYPE_MAIN
NET_IF_MEM_TYPE_DEDICATED

7. Large transmit buffer size. At the time of this writing, transmit fragmentation is not supported; therefore this field sets the size of the largest transmittable buffer for the loopback interface when the application sends from a socket that is bound to the local-host address.
    
8. Number of large transmit buffers. This field controls the number of large transmit buffers allocated to the loopback interface. The developer may set this field to zero to make room for additional large transmit buffers, however, the number of large plus the number of small transmit buffers must be greater than or equal to one for UDP traffic and three for TCP traffic.
    
9. Small transmit buffer size. For devices with a minimal amount of RAM, it is possible to allocate small transmit buffers as well as large transmit buffers. In general, we recommend 64 byte small transmit buffers, however, the developer may adjust this value according to the application requirements. This field has no effect if the number of small transmit buffers is configured to zero.
    
10. Number of small transmit buffers. This field controls the number of small transmit buffers allocated to the device. The developer may set this field to zero to make room for additional large transmit buffers, however, the number of large plus the number of small transmit buffers must be greater than or equal to one for UDP traffic and three for TCP traffic.
     
11. Transmit buffer alignment. This setting controls the alignment of the receive buffers in bytes. Some processor architectures do not allow multi-byte reads and writes across word boundaries and therefore may require buffer alignment. In general, it is probably best practice to align buffers to the data bus width of the processor which may improve performance. For example, a 32-bit processor may benefit from having buffers aligned on a 4-byte boundary.
     
12. Transmit buffer offset. This setting configures an offset from the base transmit index to prepare loopback packets. The default offset of 0 should be configured. However, if loopback transmit packets are configured with an offset, the transmit buffer size must also be adjusted by the additional number of offset bytes.
     
13. Memory address. By default, this field is configured to 0x00000000. A value of 0 tells µC/TCP-IP to allocate buffers for the loopback interface from the µC/LIB Memory Manager default heap. If a faster, more specialized memory is available, the loopback interface buffers may be allocated into an alternate region if desired.
     
14. Memory size. By default, this field is configured to 0. A value of 0 tells µC/TCP-IP to allocate as much memory as required from the µC/LIB Memory Manager default heap. If an alternate memory region is specified in the ‘Memory Address’ field above, then the maximum size of the specified memory segment must be specified.
    
    
15. Optional configuration flags. Configure (optional) loopback features by logically OR’ing bit-field flags:
    NET_DEV_CFG_FLAG_NONE No loopback configuration flags selected
