Hi Rohit, this is not akka specific and this is how IP works. If you bind to localhost IP (127.0.0.1) then you receive packets sent to that IP address, which are packets sent from the same machine. If you bind to some LAN address (ex. 192.168.1.1) then you will receive packets sent to that IP address which could be packets sent from the same machine, our from a machine in your local network.
