loopback or another interface (usually a static route of last resort to the loopback address/interface).

loopback or null?


In the "old" days, null was handled by CPU (software switched), so lots
of us old-timers got into the habit of using loopback instead of null. On a modern platform it should make no operational difference provided you have everything you need set up properly. (null routing the /16, for example, might be bad if you ever actually try to route that whole prefix instead of just subs -- as it would be specific and static).
