-## Overview
-
-dummy is a useful feature for routing packets through the Linux kernel without transmitting.
-
-Like loopback, it is a purely virtual interface that allows packets to be routed to a designated IP address. Unlike loopback, the IP address can be arbitrary and is not restricted to the `127.0.0.0/8` range.
-
-## Example configuration
-
-```json
-{
-	"name": "mynet",
-	"type": "dummy",
-	"ipam": {
-		"type": "host-local",
-		"subnet": "10.1.2.0/24"
-	}
-}
-```
-
-## Network configuration reference
-
-* `name` (string, required): the name of the network.
-* `type` (string, required): "dummy".
-* `ipam` (dictionary, required): IPAM configuration to be used for this network.
-
-## Notes
-
-* `dummy` does not transmit packets.
-Therefore the container will not be able to reach any external network.
-This solution is designed to be used in conjunction with other CNI plugins (e.g., `bridge`) to provide an internal non-loopback address for applications to use.
