How 127.0.0.1 Works All messages generated by TCP/IP application software contain IP addresses for their intended recipients. TCP/IP recognizes 127.0.0.1 as a special IP address. The protocol checks each message before sending it to the physical network. Then, it automatically re-routes any messages with a destination of 127.0.0.1 back to the receiving end of the TCP/IP stack. To improve network security, TCP/IP also checks incoming messages arriving on routers or other network gateways and discards any that contain loopback IP addresses....

Certified Wireless USB is not another name for Bluetooth as they are different networking protocols. How Wireless USB Works Wireless USB works like standard USB (Universal Serial Bus), but without copper wire acting as the intermediary connector.

The majority of wireless USB keyboards work on the 2....
