What is the difference between ip address 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1?

Answer:

Sometimes when using the netstat command, which print out something like

# netstat -ntpl
(No info could be read for "-p": geteuid()=1001 but you should be root.)
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -
...

What is the real meaning of 0.0.0.0?

In fact, this special IP means "all the IP addresses on the local machine". So if you have seen a service listening on 0.0.0.0, it means you can connect to the service using any IP addresses of the machine.
