martian

( n.)

   A  packet  sent on a TCP/IP network with a source address of the test
   loopback  interface  [127.0.0.1].  This  means that it will come back
   labeled with a source address that is clearly not of this earth. "The
   domain server is getting lots of packets from Mars. Does that gateway
   have   a   martian   filter?"   Compare   {Christmas   tree  packet},
   {Godzillagram}.
