# Docker container networking
So far we've been introduced to some [basic Docker
concepts](usingdocker.md), seen how to work with [Docker
images](dockerimages.md) as well as learned about basic [networking
and links between containers](dockerlinks.md). In this section
we're going to discuss how you can take control over more advanced
container networking.
This section makes use of `docker network` commands and outputs to explain the
advanced networking functionality supported by Docker.
# Default Networks
By default, docker creates 3 networks using 3 different network drivers :
```
$ sudo docker network ls
NETWORK ID NAME DRIVER
7fca4eb8c647 bridge bridge
9f904ee27bf5 none null
cf03ee007fb4 host host
```
`docker network inspect` gives more information about a network
```
$ sudo docker network inspect bridge
{
"name": "bridge",
"id": "7fca4eb8c647e57e9d46c32714271e0c3f8bf8d17d346629e2820547b2d90039",
"driver": "bridge",
"containers": {}
}
```
By default containers are launched on Bridge network
```
$ sudo docker run -itd --name=container1 busybox
f2870c98fd504370fb86e59f32cd0753b1ac9b69b7d80566ffc7192a82b3ed27
$ sudo docker run -itd --name=container2 busybox
bda12f8922785d1f160be70736f26c1e331ab8aaf8ed8d56728508f2e2fd4727
```
```
$ sudo docker network inspect bridge
{
"name": "bridge",
"id": "7fca4eb8c647e57e9d46c32714271e0c3f8bf8d17d346629e2820547b2d90039",
"driver": "bridge",
"containers": {

"mac_address": "02:42:ac:11:00:03",
"ipv4_address": "172.17.0.3/16",
"ipv6_address": ""
},
"f2870c98fd504370fb86e59f32cd0753b1ac9b69b7d80566ffc7192a82b3ed27": {

"ipv4_address": "172.17.0.2/16",
"ipv6_address": ""
}
}
}
```
`docker network inspect` command above shows all the connected containers and its network resources on a given network
Containers in a network should be able to communicate with each other using container names
```
$ sudo docker attach container1

# User defined Networks
In addition to the inbuilt networks, user can create networks using inbuilt drivers
(such as bridge or overlay driver) or external plugins supplied by the community.
Networks by definition should provides complete isolation for the containers.
```
$ docker network create -d bridge isolated_nw
8b05faa32aeb43215f67678084a9c51afbdffe64cd91e3f5bb8267475f8bf1a7

Container can be launched on a user-defined network using the --net=<NETWORK> option
in `docker run` command
```

Lets check the network resources used by container2.
```

In the example discussed in this section thus far, container3 and container2 are
connected to isolated_nw and can talk to each other.
But container3 and container1 are not in the same network and hence they cannot communicate.
```
$ docker attach container3

While container2 is attached to both the networks (bridge and isolated_nw) and hence it

Just like it is easy to connect a container to multiple networks, one can
disconnect a container from a network using the `docker network disconnect` command.
```
root@Ubuntu-vm ~$ docker network disconnect isolated_nw container2
$ docker inspect --format='{{.NetworkSettings.Networks}}' container2
[bridge]
root@Ubuntu-vm ~$ docker network inspect isolated_nw
{
"name": "isolated_nw",
"id": "8b05faa32aeb43215f67678084a9c51afbdffe64cd91e3f5bb8267475f8bf1a7",

"ipv4_address": "172.20.0.1/16",

}
}
```
Once a container is disconnected from a network, it cannot communicate with other containers
connected to that network. In this example, container2 cannot talk to container3 any more
in isolated_nw
```
$ sudo docker attach container2

When all the containers in a network stops or disconnected the network can be removed
```
$ docker network inspect isolated_nw
{

# Native Multi-host networking
With the help of libnetwork and the inbuilt `VXLAN based overlay network driver` docker supports multi-host networking natively out of the box. Technical details are documented under https://github.com/docker/libnetwork/blob/master/docs/overlay.md.
Using the exact same above `docker network` UI, the user can exercise the power of multi-host networking.
In order to create a network using the inbuilt overlay driver,
```
$ docker network create -d overlay multi-host-network
```
Since `network` object is globally significant, this feature requires distributed states provided by `libkv`. Using `libkv`, the user can plug any of the supported Key-Value store (such as consul, etcd or zookeeper).
User can specify the Key-Value store of choice using the `--cluster-store` daemon flag, which takes configuration value of format `PROVIDER://URL`, where
`PROVIDER` is the name of the Key-Value store (such as consul, etcd or zookeeper) and
`URL` is the url to reach the Key-Value store.
Example : `docker daemon --cluster-store=consul://localhost:8500`
# Next step
Now that you know how to link Docker containers together, the next step is
learning how to manage data, volumes and mounts inside your containers.
Go to [Managing Data in Containers](dockervolumes.md).
