Localhost

According to IANA, IP address block 127.0.0.0/8 is allocated for Loopback. So, when we enter localhost with some port (presuming some app or server is running on that port), we access 127.0.0.1. This can be thought of as the smallest using of network. Basically, if there is any machine, it will have a Loopback address.
