To build on epistasis's comment a bit, this creates a private network for all containers on all hosts that reside in the same /16 network. So if you have a VPC of up to 65k machines, each machine can run up to ~250 containers that can all talk directly to each other by just relying on basic network routing. This is better than your typical private NAT bridge networking because containers on different hosts can talk to each other without having to set up port forwarding or discovering what port that particular application server is running on.
