Hello

The loop is caused because two devices think the other is the best path for the prefix you want to reach and as such both are forwarding the request on to each other.

If you check the route table of them you probably see that prefix is being advertised from its neighboring peer

Can you explain your topology so we can get a better understanding of your network

Hi

I agree with Paul, you should verify the routing, check why the second IP (Router) is returning the packet it could be because it does not have other specific route to the destination just a default route pointing to the source or the next hop is not configured correctly.

Is possible to see your configuration?
