A method for enabling virtual data loopback in a computing system may include forwarding a data packet from a first device to a second device; the second device identifying from the data packet egress interface information indicating a first interface for forwarding the data packet out of the computing system; based on the first interface identified from the egress interface information, automatically determining a second interface to the first interface; inserting into the data packet ingress interface information that indicates the second interface; forwarding the data packet, including the ingress interface information, back to the first device; and the first device identifying the ingress interface information indicating the second interface; such that the data packet is looped back to the first device without being communicated via the first or second interface, and such that from the perspective of the first device the data packet was received via the second interface. |
