# libnetwork - networking for containers
|
|
|
|
[](https://circleci.com/gh/docker/libnetwork/tree/master) [](https://coveralls.io/r/docker/libnetwork) [](https://godoc.org/github.com/docker/libnetwork) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/docker/libnetwork)
|
|
|
|
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.
