    Looking at draft-nainar-mpls-lsp-ping-yang, the proposal is a “typedef” 
that constrains inet:ipv[46]-address so that it can only contain loopback 
address values.

    I don’t think so, but I’m not a routing person.

I wouldn't think that an internal loopback address would be widely used. In 
fact, I checked our Cisco native models for IOS-XE and there is no such 
definition. 

[Qin]: I am not sure we are talking about loopback type or loopback address
See section 2.4 in draft-ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang-10, 3 type loopbacks are 
defined:
1.Internal loopback
2.Line loopback
3.Loopback Connector
3 types loopback can be classified into local loopback and remote loopback.
I am not sure they are common, but we have some support for this. 

Thanks,
Acee
