Great work! I was exploring the distributed docker networking space yesterday for an open source project I'm working on (https://github.com/pnegahdar/sporedock) and the ones I have currently found are: Weave - https://github.com/zettio/weave Ambassadord - https://github.com/progrium/ambassadord Warmhole - https://github.com/vishvananda/wormhole QTunnel (not docker specific) - https://github.com/getqujing/qtunnel Flannel - https://github.com/coreos/flannel I'd love a comparison write up if you guys ever get to it.
