Now a gratuitous/unsolicted ARP is sent, there's no need to use an IPv4-based MAC address to preserve arp-cache mappings between an endpoint's IP addresses and its MAC addresses. Because a random MAC address is used for the default bridge, it no longer makes sense to derive container IPv6 addresses from the MAC address. This "postIPv6" behaviour was needed before IPv6 addresses could be configured, but not now. So, IPv6 addresses will now be IPAM-allocated on the default bridge network, just as they are for user-defined bridges. 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.
