Virtual networking docker (bridge)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/15968883

Hello everyone ! Nobody seems to have an answer on !networking@sh.itjust.works (or maybe they are not interested because it's an enteprise network community?) and !homenetworking@selfhosted.forum seems dead?

Anyway, If anyone could guide me or direct me to the right direction, I would really appreciate it !


TL:DR

What is encapsulated into the frame that makes everyone understand: "OHHH that’s for 10.0.0.8, your docker container on bridge network br-b1de on the veth2b interface !!! "


Hi everyone !

I'm scratching my head in finding an actual answer on how virtual networking in docker actually works (mostly on the packets/frame level) or some good documentation to improve my understanding on how everything fits together.

Because I'm probably lacking the correct network terminology I made a simple network topology of my network. Don't hesitate to correct any network mistake.
