Found on google by searching:

Subject: Internet Explorer using LoopBack

Anyone know why IE opens a UDP port on the loopback IP? Has it always done
this?

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
UDP 127.0.0.1:1512 *:*

Pid Process Port Proto Path
740 iexplore -> 1512 UDP C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe

Thanks, Howard

FYI: I did a google search "internet explorer loopback" and didn't get much
back (that I could read) and also searched on Bugtraq with no matches...
