Roadmap
Libnetwork is a young project and is still being defined. This document defines the high-level goals of the project and defines the release-relationship to the Docker Platform.
- Goals
- Project Planning: release-relationship to the Docker Platform.
Long-term Goal
libnetwork project will follow Docker and Linux philosophy of delivering small, highly modular and composable tools that works well independently. libnetwork aims to satisfy that composable need for Networking in Containers.
Short-term Goals
- Modularize the networking logic in Docker Engine and libcontainer in to a single, reusable library
- Replace the networking subsystem of Docker Engine, with libnetwork
- Define a flexible model that allows local and remote drivers to provide networking to containers
- Provide a stand-alone tool "dnet" for managing and testing libnetwork
Project Planning
Libnetwork versions do not map 1:1 with Docker Platform releases. Milestones and Project Pages are used to define the set of features that are included in each release.
| Platform Version | Libnetwork Version | Planning |
|---|---|---|
| Docker 1.7 | 0.3 | Project Page |
| Docker 1.8 | 1.0 | Project Page |
