Great work! I was exploring the distributed docker networking space yesterday for an open source project I'm working on (https://github.com/pnegahdar/sporedock https://github.com/pnegahdar/sporedock) and the ones I have currently found are: Weave - https://github.com/zettio/weave https://github.com/zettio/weave Ambassadord - https://github.com/progrium/ambassadord https://github.com/progrium/ambassadord Warmhole - https://github.com/vishvananda/wormhole https://github.com/vishvananda/wormhole QTunnel (not docker specific) - https://github.com/getqujing/qtunnel https://github.com/getqujing/qtunnel Flannel - https://github.com/coreos/flannel https://github.com/coreos/flannel I'd love a comparison write up if you guys ever get to it.

As far as flannel goes, the comparison can be boiled down to that Weave doesn't rely on etcd or anything other to store the sate.

  Weave is also topology agnostic - see the explanation vs Flannel (formerly "Rudder") here http://www.infoworld.com/article/2608941/application-virtualization/weave-project-knits-together-networks-for-docker-containers.html http://www.infoworld.com/article/2608941/application-virtual...

Another one for your list: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne Docker integration by a third party user: https://github.com/davide/docker-zerotier https://github.com/davide/docker-zerotier ZeroTier isn't Docker-specific, but people are using it there. (Disclosure: I wrote it.) No DNS-like component (yet), though it's possible to use mDNS/Avahi or other existing methods. Seems like DNS+Docker wants an orthogonal solution, maybe something built into Docker itself or otherwise transport-agnostic. I can imagine deployments with multiple different kinds of transports running to connect Docker containers to different sorts of things. The mDNS protocol tries to solve this problem in a more universal platform-independent way, but in my experience it isn't that reliable and doesn't scale well enough for mission-critical infrastructure use. Maybe the right thing to do would be to fix mDNS by changing it over to a Kademelia DHT or something else more intelligent, scalable, and closed-form-provably correct.

  Weave is not Docker-specific either.
