- containers may be connected to one or more networks
| Docker Network Type | Description |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Bridge | The default network for standalone containers, allowing them to communicate internally while isolated from external networks. |
| Host | Shares the host's network stack, improving performance but sacrificing isolation. |
| None | Disables all networking for a container, useful for security or specific configurations. |
| Overlay | Enables communication between containers across multiple hosts, ideal for clustered environments like Docker Swarm. |
| IPvLAN | Provides advanced control over IP address management and VLAN tagging. |
| MACvLAN | Assigns unique MAC addresses to containers, making them appear as physical devices on the network. |
