Per-network option com.docker.network.bridge.trusted-host-interfaces accepts a list of interfaces that are allowed to route directly to a container's published ports in a bridge network with nat enabled. This daemon level option disables direct access filtering, enabling direct access to published ports on container addresses in all bridge networks, via all host interfaces. It overlaps with short-term env-var workaround: DOCKER_INSECURE_NO_IPTABLES_RAW=1 - it does not allow packets sent from outside the host to reach ports published only to 127.0.0.1 - it will outlive iptables (the workaround was initially intended for hosts that do not have kernel support for the "raw" iptables table).

libnetwork - networking for containers
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.
Design
Please refer to the design for more information.
Using libnetwork
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.
