Presumably you have two or more programs sending network traffic to
each other (or perhaps a program sending messages to itself).
You will need to arrange that the programs *NOT* communicate on a
loopback address, e.g. 127.0.0.1. This might require that you change
how the program or programs are configured, to make them communicate
using 10.0.0.10 rather than 127.0.0.1.
(This is not a limitation in Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, and other OSes
that support capturing on a loopback interface, as they *can* capture
127.0.0.1 traffic.)
