We don't enable STP on bridges belonging to bridge networks,
but bridge ports still need to transition from "disabled" to
"forwarding", after the veth device comes "up". Until then,
the bridge will just drop packets.
So, if a container's network is a veth device, and its other
end is slaved to a bridge - wait for the bridge port to
be "forwarding".

Libnetwork provides a native Go implementation for connecting containers
The goal of libnetwork is to deliver a robust Container Network Model that provides a consistent programming interface and the required network abstractions for applications.
There are many networking solutions available to suit a broad range of use-cases. libnetwork uses a driver / plugin model to support all of these solutions while abstracting the complexity of the driver implementations by exposing a simple and consistent Network Model to users.
