It's definitely not unique to the loopback address. Try a local ping of your
computer's IP address and capture the traffic locally as well. The Endpoints
statistics will be duplicated just the same is it is when pinging the loopback
address.
Wireshark isn't a router. It's counting packets, not egress packets and
ingress packets. There are 2 packets in the capture file so it's absurd that
the packet count exceeds the total packets Wireshark sees.
