//! Loopback device marker.
//!
//! Loopback traffic is handled by the router fast path rather than by device
//! workers. This device still exists so the control plane can expose `lo` as a
//! normal interface and route local packets through the same route table.
//!
//! # Fast Path
//!
//! `Router::dispatch()` copies loopback packets directly from the smoltcp TX
//! buffer into the smoltcp-facing RX buffer. That avoids an extra queue hop and
//! avoids spawning RX/TX workers for a device that has no hardware latency.

/// Unlike Ethernet devices, loopback uses a fast path that bypasses device
