I mean an application that doesn't need any external equipment.

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.

It can work this way also for test, but consider a use-case:
application processes IPsec tunneled traffic and after decryption it
wants to reclassify a packet. We agreed before that such reclassification will be done via some loopback pktio interface. Should it be a real physical interface in a loopback mode or it can be a special kind of loopback?
