What is a self-contained application? An application which uses only ODP
calls?
Regarding the classification tests and loopbacks, why there's a need for a
special kind of  ODP "loopback" interface?
Why the following scenario is not acceptable for a test -  open a pktio
(ethernet), configure it in loopback mode and transmit the test traffic
over the pktio with odp_pktio_send(), for example.
