What is the Container Network - "net_basic"?

"net_basic" is a Docker container network consists of all containers related to Hyperledger Fabric network, basic-network. A container network groups containers together to help network communications among those containers.

You can verify the "net_basic" container network, after you run the start.sh script:

$ cd ~/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/basic-network

$ ./strt.sh
...

$ docker network inspect net_basic

As you can see, the "net_basic" network is defined as "local" IP network of 192.168.128.0/20, with each container assigned with a different "local" IP address.

The "net_basic" network allows its containers to do IP protocol communications with their "local" IP addresses.
