In 28.0.0, Docker appended to the FORWARD chain - breaking other applications that had appended their own rules that needed to execute after Docker's rules. Move most of Docker's rules out of the filter-FORWARD chain into a new DOCKER-FORWARD chain, so that Docker can append to DOCKER-FORWARD without affecting the order of rules in the FORWARD chain. After daemon startup inserts jumps to DOCKER-USER and DOCKER-FORWARD, the bridge driver will not touch the FORWARD chain again. DOCKER-INGRESS is still added to the FORWARD chain, if used, as it was in 27.x and earlier. Signed-off-by: Rob Murray <rob.murray@docker.com>
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.
