Thanks for your response.

But the same logic does not apply for tcp_lo_select.c

The output of tcp_lo_select.c is shown below.

Start TCP server - test
TCP SERVER: Hello eCos network
Start TCP client 1 - test
client 1 :started
Start TCP client 2 - test
client 2 :started
TCP SERVER connection from 127.0.0.1: 9990
TCP SERVER connection from 127.0.0.1: 9991
SERVER : Client 1 is alive. You may continue ....
SERVER : Client 2 is alive. You may continue ....
PASS:<Server returned OK>
EXIT:<done>

Here we get loop back address from the client. In this test also 
we don't have any explicit binding for the client socket then how 
does it display the loopback address?
