| # 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](docs/design.md) 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. | |
