A loopback interface is a virtual interface you can configure on any router
and has an 'always-up" characteristic as recognized by the router itself.
This makes it the most stable route of choice to be advertised by, say,
OSPF,
which, as a rule advertises the route with the highest physical # , or, if
there are loopback interfaces that are configured and can be used, it ALWAYS
uses loopback interfaces because of their stability and dependability on
carrying the route advertisement.

Would you please explain me in simple terms what is loopback interface?
One of the techs from our ISP told me to config my router for loopback
interface instead of multilink interface so that he would push the
config to my router. He also told me that multilink requires high CPU
usage. Would you please give me your opinion on this.
Thanks
