SYNOPSIS
docker network command [options]
DESCRIPTION
docker network manages Docker networks. Networks enable communication between containers. Supports bridge, host, overlay, and macvlan drivers. Containers on the same user-defined network can communicate using container names as hostnames, providing service discovery. Custom networks isolate containers and provide better security than the default bridge network.
