Overview

With win-bridge plugin, all containers (on the same host) are plugged into an L2Bridge network that has one endpoint in the host namespace.

  • Policies (list, optional): List of hns policies to be used (only used when ApiVersion is < 2).
  • HcnPolicyArgs (list, optional): List of hcn policies to be used (only used when ApiVersion is 2).
  • loopbackDSR (bool, optional): If true, will add a policy to allow the interface to support loopback direct server return.
