Virtual Ethernet Pair

A veth pair is two virtual NICs joined like a pipe: a frame sent into one end emerges from the other. Docker places one end (eth0) inside the container's namespace and attaches the peer end to a bridge in the host namespace, which is the entire physical-layer story of bridge networking.
