# Experimental: Docker network driver plugins
|
|
|
|
Docker supports network driver plugins via
|
|
[LibNetwork](https://github.com/docker/libnetwork). Network driver plugins are
|
|
implemented as "remote drivers" for LibNetwork, which shares plugin
|
|
infrastructure with Docker. In effect this means that network driver plugins
|
|
are activated in the same way as other plugins, and use the same kind of
|
|
protocol.
|
|
|
|
## Using network driver plugins
|
|
|
|
The means of installing and running a network driver plugin will depend on the
|
|
particular plugin.
|
|
|
|
Once running however, network driver plugins are used just like the built-in
|
|
network drivers: by being mentioned as a driver in network-oriented Docker
|
|
commands. For example,
|
|
|
|
docker network create -d weave mynet
|
|
|
|
Some network driver plugins are listed in [plugins.md](/docs/extend/plugins.md)
|
|
|
|
The network thus created is owned by the plugin, so subsequent commands
|
|
referring to that network will also be run through the plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Network driver plugin protocol
|
|
|
|
The network driver protocol, additional to the plugin activation call, is
|
|
documented as part of LibNetwork:
|
|
[https://github.com/docker/libnetwork/blob/master/docs/remote.md](https://github.com/docker/libnetwork/blob/master/docs/remote.md).
