When I use following command to replay 1.pcap over lo:

tcpreplay --mbps=10 --intf1=lo 1.pcap

Then I see these warning:

.Warning: Unsupported physical layer type 0x0304 on lo. Maybe it works, maybe it wont. See tickets #123/318

What is the problem?

As you see in the warning message, this message appear because L2 layer of loopback interface is different from other interfaces such as Ethernet. Because of limitation of PF_PACKET API in linux, tcpreplay cannot support loobpack just in L2 layer.

If you are using tool that are not sensitive to L2 header, ignore this warning, else you must replay packet on other interfaces.
