When libnetwork receives a watch event for a driver table entry from
NetworkDB it passes the event along to the interested driver. This code
contains a subtle bug: update events from NetworkDB are passed along to
the driver as Delete events! This bug was lying dormant as driver-table
entries can only be added by the driver, not updated. Now that NetworkDB
broadcasts an UpdateEvent to watchers if the entry is already known to
the local NetworkDB, irrespective of whether the event received from the
remote peer was a CREATE or UPDATE event, the bug is causing problems.
Whenever a remote node replaces an entry in the overlay_peer_table but
the intermediate delete state was not received by the local node, the
new CREATE event would be translated to an UpdateEvent by NetworkDB and
subsequently handled by the overlay driver as if the entry was deleted!
Bubble table UPDATE events up to the network driver as Update events.

Libnetwork provides a native Go implementation for connecting containers
The goal of libnetwork is to deliver a robust Container Network Model that provides a consistent programming interface and the required network abstractions for applications.
There are many networking solutions available to suit a broad range of use-cases. libnetwork uses a driver / plugin model to support all of these solutions while abstracting the complexity of the driver implementations by exposing a simple and consistent Network Model to users.
