Hi Alexey,

 The MAC address of the interfaces have not changed.
 It looks like there is some filtering in VirtualBox in the receive path to filter 127.x.x.x IP address before it reaches the Ethernet device emulation in VM.

Best Regards
 George

One major difference between old VirtualBox and new one is at the MAC level filtering at layer 2.

To achieve network similar to VirtualBox 2.x, you need:
VM->Settings->Network->Adapter [X]->Advanced->Promisc. Mode = "Allow All".

If your application used to work with VBox 2.x, it will work with v5.x and this setting.

Best wishes,
