+# Bridge driver options
+
+When creating a custom network, the default network driver (i.e. `bridge`) has additional options that can be passed.
+The following are those options and the equivalent docker daemon flags used for docker0 bridge:
+
+| Option                                           | Equivalent  | Description                                           |
+|--------------------------------------------------|-------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
+| `com.docker.network.bridge.name`                 | -           | bridge name to be used when creating the Linux bridge |
+| `com.docker.network.bridge.enable_ip_masquerade` | `--ip-masq` | Enable IP masquerading                                |
+| `com.docker.network.bridge.enable_icc`           | `--icc`     | Enable or Disable Inter Container Connectivity        |
+| `com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4`    | `--ip`      | Default IP when binding container ports               |
+| `com.docker.network.mtu`                         | `--mtu`     | Set the containers network MTU                        |
+| `com.docker.network.enable_ipv6`                 | `--ipv6`    | Enable IPv6 networking                                |
+
+For example, let's use `-o` or `--opt` options to specify an IP address binding when publishing ports:
+
+```bash
+docker network create -o "com.docker.network.bridge.host_binding_ipv4"="172.19.0.1" simple-network

 ### Network internal mode
 
 By default, when you connect a container to an `overlay` network, Docker also connects a bridge network to it to provide external connectivity.
