# ptp plugin
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
The ptp plugin creates a point-to-point link between a container and the host by using a veth device.
|
|
One end of the veth pair is placed inside a container and the other end resides on the host.
|
|
Both ends receive an IP address out of a /31 range.
|
|
The IP of the host end becomes the gateway address inside the container.
|
|
|
|
Because ptp plugin requires a pair of IP addresses for each container, it should be used in conjunction with host-local-ptp IPAM plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Example network configuration
