 3. `controller.NewNetwork()` API also takes in optional `options` parameter which carries Driver-specific options and `Labels`, which the Drivers can make use for its purpose.
 
-4. `network.CreateEndpoint()` can be called to create a new Endpoint in a given network. This API also accepts optional `options` parameter which drivers can make use of. These 'options' carry both well-known labels and driver-specific labels. Drivers will inturn be called with `driver.CreateEndpoint` and it can choose to reserve any required resources when an `Endpoint` is created in a `Network`. The `Driver` must return the reserved resources via the `sandbox.Info` return object. LibNetwork will make use of the `SandboxInfo` when a Container is attached later. The reason we get the `sandbox.Info` at the time of endpoint creation and not during the `Join()` is that, `Endpoint` represents a Service endpoint and not neccessarily the container that attaches later.
+4. `network.CreateEndpoint()` can be called to create a new Endpoint in a given network. This API also accepts optional `options` parameter which drivers can make use of. These 'options' carry both well-known labels and driver-specific labels. Drivers will in turn be called with `driver.CreateEndpoint` and it can choose to reserve IPv4/IPv6 addresses when an `Endpoint` is created in a `Network`. The `Driver` will assign these addresses using `InterfaceInfo` interface defined in the `driverapi`. The IP/IPv6 are needed to complete the endpoint as service definition along with the ports the endpoint exposes since essentially a service endpoint is nothing but a network address and the port number that the application container is listening on.
 
 5. `endpoint.Join()` can be used to attach a container to a `Endpoint`. The Join operation will create a `Sandbox` if it doesnt exist already for that container. The Drivers can make use of the Sandbox Key to identify multiple endpoints attached to a same container. This API also accepts optional `options` parameter which drivers can make use of.
   * Though it is not a direct design issue of LibNetwork, it is highly encouraged to have users like `Docker` to call the endpoint.Join() during Container's `Start()` lifecycle that is invoked *before* the container is made operational. As part of Docker integration, this will be taken care of.
   * one of a FAQ on endpoint join() API is that, why do we need an API to create an Endpoint and another to join the endpoint.
     - The answer is based on the fact that Endpoint represents a Service which may or may not be backed by a Container. When an Endpoint is created, it will have its resources reserved so that any container can get attached to the endpoint later and get a consistent networking behaviour.
 
-6. `endpoint.Leave()` can be invoked when a container is stopped. The `Driver` can cleanup the states that it allocated during the `Join()` call. LibNetwork will delete the `Sandbox` when the last referencing endpoint leaves the network. But LibNetwork keeps hold of the `sandbox.Info` and will be reused when the container joins again. This ensures that the container's resources are reused when they are Stopped and Started again.
+6. `endpoint.Leave()` can be invoked when a container is stopped. The `Driver` can cleanup the states that it allocated during the `Join()` call. LibNetwork will delete the `Sandbox` when the last referencing endpoint leaves the network. But LibNetwork keeps hold of the IP addresses as long as the endpoint is still present and will be reused when the container(or any container) joins again. This ensures that the container's resources are reused when they are Stopped and Started again.
 
 7. `endpoint.Delete()` is used to delete an endpoint from a network. This results in deleting an endpoint and cleaning up the cached `sandbox.Info`.
