The NetworkDB unit tests instantiate clusters which communicate over loopback where every "node" listens on a distinct localhost port. The tests make use of a NetworkDB configuration knob to set the port. When the NetworkDB configuration's BindPort field is set to a nonzero value, its memberlist instance is configured to bind to the specified port number. However, the advertise port is left at the memberlist.DefaultLANConfig() default value of 7946. Because of this, nodes would be unable to contact any of the other nodes in the cluster learned by gossip as the gossiped addresseses specify the wrong ports! The flaky tests passed as often as they did thanks to the robustness of the memberlist module: NetworkDB gossip and and memberlist node liveness-probe pings to unreachable nodes can all be relayed through the reachable nodes, the nodes on the bootstrap join list. Make the NetworkDB unit tests less flaky by setting each node's advertise port to the bind port. The daemon is unaffected by this oversight as it unconditionally uses the default listen port of 7946, which aligns with the advertise port. Signed-off-by: Cory Snider <csnider@mirantis.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.
