loopback interface is an always up interface and it will not go down since
it is a virtual interface unlike physical interfaces which may be physically
down sometimes.
It is not necessary to use loopback for a point-to-point connection but you
are advised to use probably because it will be more reliable to map
frame-relay dlci no to loopback ip addresses since that will guarantee that
the frame-relay map is always reliable
