An alternative to MacVLAN is IPVLAN. IPVLAN comes in two flavors. The first is L2 mode, which operates very similarly to MacVLAN with the exception of how MAC addresses are assigned. With IPVLAN mode, all logical IP interfaces use the same MAC address. This allows you to keep the parent NIC out of promiscuous mode and also prevents you from running into any possible NIC or switch port MAC limitations. The second mode is IPVLAN layer 3. In layer 3 mode, IPVLAN acts like a router and forwards unicast packets in and out of IPVLAN connected networks. In this recipe, we'll cover the basic IPVLAN networking construct to get an idea of how it works and how it can be implemented.

Overview of this book
Networking functionality in Docker has changed considerably since its first release, evolving to offer a rich set of built-in networking features, as well as an extensible plugin model allowing for a wide variety of networking functionality. This book explores Docker networking capabilities from end to end. Begin by examining the building blocks used by Docker to implement fundamental containing networking before learning how to consume built-in networking constructs as well as custom networks you create on your own. Next, explore common third-party networking plugins, including detailed information on how these plugins inter-operate with the Docker engine. Consider available options for securing container networks, as well as a process for troubleshooting container connectivity.
Finally, examine advanced Docker networking functions and their relevant use cases, tying together everything you need to succeed with your own projects.
