May 13May 13 I was excited about the fixed MAC address feature but am concerned about collisions. If I set a container's fixed MAC address to the address Docker randomly assigned it, or some other address I made up, is there anything stopping Docker from trying to reuse it elsewhere? The MAC addresses currently assigned to my containers seem to span all the "locally administered" bits (X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX, X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX, XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX, and XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX) per wikipedia. Can we reserve one of those for only fixed addresses? Or are collisions so unlikely that I should just not worry about it?
