For windows, too all the constructs and docker CLI options for networking remain the same as Linux. As you all know docker networking architecture is built upon the set of interfaces called as container networking model.
VFP offers a rich data plane primitives that you can apply actions on packets such as encap decap state full NAT acl metering etc. VFP is a programmable match action based filtering engine. In windows, we use VFP virtual filtering platform. Ip tables in Linux provide rich packet filtering. In windows, container network interfaces (host vNIC or VMNIC) are added to each compartment and then bound to the corresponding switch port in the VSwitch. Each instance of VSwitch has its own forwarding table and forwards packets based on MAC address and vlan tagging of the packets. Switch Ports can be dynamically added and deleted to each VSwitch. You can have multiple instances of VSwitch.
In windows VSwitch provides layer 2 functionality and layer 3 routing services. Layer 2 switching functionality is provided by Linux bridge. All ip objects such as interfaces ip addresses routes prefixes live inside one and only compartment. Network layer in TCP/IP ensure that each compartment is isolated and packet forwarding between compartments is prevented. Conceptually compartments are logical container in TCP/IP stack. In windows namespace is equal to the network compartments. Let's look at the Linux networking building blocks that docker networking architecture is built upon and how they compare with Linux and how we have developed windows networking drivers.In this session, we are going to cover some basics, deep dive of different networking modes in windows and how they compare with Linux and a cool demo of docker swarm in windows and Linux. This is a great testament to the amazing partnership, we have with docker. There should be an announcement coming soon. We are happy to announce that overlay network mode is available in windows server 2016 as of last Tuesday windows update. This would not have been possible without the support of Madhu's team in docker. For the past year we have been working extensively on windows platform for supporting docker networking specifically enabling docker swarm on windows.No Native Support Yes No native Support No native Support Silo: extension to Windows Job object (aka cgroup) “hcsshim” (as in the shim between Docker and the Host Computeĭotnet-computevirtualization (because.
