Answer from AI
The following main types of network drivers are used in Docker:
- bridge — the default isolated network for containers on the same host. Containers in the same bridge network can communicate with each other.
- host — the container uses the host's network stack directly, without isolation. It allows the container to operate on the same network as the host.
- none — disables network connectivity for the container.
- overlay — enables creating a network that spans multiple Docker hosts, used in Docker Swarm.
- macvlan — assigns a MAC address to the container and makes it appear as a separate device on the host network.
- ipvlan — similar to macvlan but with a different IP address management model.
Each network type is suitable for different use cases depending on requirements for isolation, performance, and scalability.
