Segment loopbacks test the connectivity between any two uniquely addressable points in a

End-to-end loopbacks test the connectivity between any uniquely addressable point in the
VPC or VCC and any end point (such as a modem or a network end point) where a VPC or
VCC terminates.

cells will be looped back to the originating device (format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where x is an integer 0 - 9 or an alpha character a - f). It is not
necessary to modify this value when you perform a loopback test to a Megabit Modem.

cells.
