# Weave Net

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/weave-net/  
**APIs profiled:** 5

Weave Net is an open source container networking plugin that creates a virtual network connecting Docker containers and Kubernetes pods across multiple hosts. It provides automatic IP address management (IPAM), DNS resolution via WeaveDNS, network policy enforcement, and optional encryption for container-to-container communication. The Weave Net daemon exposes a local HTTP API on port 6784 for programmatic network management. Weave Net is maintained by Weaveworks and is archived but remains widely used in production environments.
