Commit 27adcd5 ("libnet/d/bridge: drop connections to lo mappings, and
direct remote connections") introduced an iptables rule to drop 'direct'
remote connections made to the container's IP address - for each
published port on the container.
The normal filter-FORWARD rules would then drop packets sent directly to
unpublished ports. This rule was only created along with the rest of port
publishing (when a container's endpoint was selected as its gateway). Until
then, all packets addressed directly to the container's ports were dropped
by the filter-FORWARD rules.
But, the rule doesn't need to be per-port. Just drop packets sent
directly to a container's address unless they originate on the host.
That means fewer rules, that can be created along with the endpoint (then
directly-routed get dropped at the same point whether or not the endpoint
is currently the gateway - very slightly earlier than when it's not the
gateway).

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.
