Description
@ the docs it reads
Network mode. Use the same values as the docker client --network parameter, plus the special form service:[service name].
But I can't find anything that clearly states what it's supposed to do, just guesses and vague answers.
Same as https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/5325
But someone closed it and said "feel free to reopen it" but ignored when people asked to reopen.

Research direction
Start with the current Docker documentation text for the network mode option and review the related issue at docker/docker.github.io#5325. Establish what network_mode: "service:[service name]" does and document that behavior clearly, including the service-name form. Done means the option no longer requires readers to infer its meaning from guesses or vague answers.
