| # 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. |
