How do i listen to loopback address on my local computer, without a port

[billykid999]

I want to listent to my loopback address on my windows PC, without attaching it to a port. I want to listent to any messages, or ICMP pings sourced from address 10.0.0.1, as the 10.0.0.0 network is an internal network which shoots off a ping to the loopback in cases of network congestion. I'm using routers to send a ping, and they can't ping ports. (they can traceroute ports, which i may try to implement later). The python listener will then trigger based on a ping from 10.0.0.1. Any suggestions on how to do this? I read back last summer on socket programming and have done a few tutorials, but these usually refer to just that: socket programming, establishing connections, and binding to ports. I want a simple ip address listener, that listens to ip address loopback for a ping sourced from 10.0.0.1 ~ any tips?
