Since it is always UP, it is an essential testing device.

Re: what is the exact purpose of loopback lo0,ni0 and ni1
as far as I remember, it is even more:
It detects traffic directed to locally attached nics and redirects this traffic to the loopback interface.
# netstat -r (output adjusted)
Routing tables
Dest/Netmask Gateway Use Interface Pmtu
localhost localhost 23454340 lo0 4136
xxxhp10 xxxhp10 337977 lan0 4136
yyyyyy xxxgw02_bac 0 lan0 1500
192.168.249.0 xxxhp10 0 lan0 1500
You can see, that although the traffic form xxxhp10 <-> xxxhp10 is assigned to lan0 (ether) the Pmtu is adjusted to the size of lo0, because it is adjusted to the size of the route actually used (see "man netstat" on this).
But I am not so sure on this...
(Although I saw exactly the same behavior, when I unhooked the machine from the hub)
