Each instance of the emulator runs behind a virtual router/firewall service that isolates it from your development machine’s network interfaces and settings and from the internet. An emulated device can not see your development machine or other emulator instances on the network. Instead, it sees only that it is connected through Ethernet to a router/firewall.

The virtual router for each instance manages the 10.0.2/24 network address space — all addresses managed by the router are in the form of 10.0.2., where is a number. Addresses within this space are pre-allocated by the emulator/router as follows: Network Address Description 10.0.2.1 Router/gateway address 10.0.2.2 Special alias to your host loopback interface (i.e., 127.0.0.1 on your development machine) 10.0.2.3 First DNS server 10.0.2.4 / 10.0.2.5 / 10.0.2.6 Optional second, third and fourth DNS server (if any) 10.0.2.15 The emulated device’s own network/ethernet interface 127.0.0.1 The emulated device’s own loopback interface

Also note that the address 127.0.0.1 on your development machine corresponds to the emulator’s own loopback interface. If you want to access services running on your development machine’s loopback interface (a.k.a. 127.0.0.1 on your machine), you should use the special address 10.0.2.2 instead.
