When you install Docker Engine it creates a `bridge` network automatically. This

on. When launch a new container with `docker run` it automatically connects to

## Connect containers
When you start a container use the `--net` flag to connect it to a network.
This adds the `busybox` container to the `mynet` network.

You can connect multiple containers to the same network. Once connected, the
containers can communicate using only another container's IP address or name.
