LOOPBACK	the interface supports broadcasting
UP	the network interface is enabled
LOWER_UP	the network cable is plugged in and device connected to network
mtu 65536	the maximum transfer unit (packet size) is 65536 bytes
qdisc noqueue
state UNKOWN
qlen 1
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00	loopback address
brd 00:00:00:00:00:00	broadcast address
