Docker安装好以后默认创建了三种网络：bridge(默认),none,host

$ docker network ls

NETWORK ID          NAME                DRIVER
7fca4eb8c647        bridge              bridge
9f904ee27bf5        none                null
cf03ee007fb4        host                host

bridge模式是docker默认的，也是开发者最常使用的网络模式。在这种模式下，docker为容器创建独立的网络栈，保证容器内的进程使用独立的网络环境，实现容器之间、容器与宿主机之间的网络栈隔离。同时，通过宿主机上的docker0网桥，容器可以与宿主机乃至外界进行网络通信。其网络模型可以参考下图：

Docker bridge

从该网络模型可以看出，容器从原理上是可以与宿主机乃至外界的其他机器通信的。同一宿主机上，容器之间都是连接到docker0这个网桥上的，它可以作为虚拟交换机使容器可以相互通信。然而，由于宿主机的IP地址与容器veth pair的 IP地址均不在同一个网段，故仅仅依靠veth pair和namespace的技术，还不足以使宿主机以外的网络主动发现容器的存在。为了使外界可以方位容器中的进程，docker采用了端口绑定的方式，也就是通过iptables的NAT，将宿主机上的端口端口流量转发到容器内的端口上。

docker network inspect查看网络信息:

$ docker network inspect bridge

       },
       "Labels": {}
   }
]

如果启动两个下面的busybox容器

$ docker run -itd --name=container1 busybox

3386a527aa08b37ea9232cbcace2d2458d49f44bb05a6b775fba7ddd40d8f92c

$ docker run -itd --name=container2 busybox

94447ca479852d29aeddca75c28f7104df3c3196d7b6d83061879e339946805c

可以看到里面多了网络中的容器信息

$ docker network inspect bridge
