+@subsection pf_loopback I want to specify the characteristics of the loopback link!
+
+Each routing model automatically adds a loopback link for each declared host, i.e.,
+a network route from the host to itself, if no such route is declared in the XML
+file. This default link has a bandwidth of 498 Mb/s, a latency of 15 microseconds,
+and is <b>not</b> shared among network flows.
+
+If you want to specify the characteristics of the loopback link for a given host, you
+just have to specify a route from this host to itself with the desired characteristics
+in the XML file. This will prevent the routing model to add and use the default
+loopback link.
