Description
Any network defined in RCF1918 should not be used. This may cause routing issue if you are trying to access resources with an IP which falls in that range.
169.254.0.0/16 is a network which will never be routed within any network (i hope not)

Research direction
Start by locating the code and tests that define libnetwork’s default network; the issue gives the current CIDR (172.17.0.0/16) and proposed replacement (169.254.0.0/16). Done means the default uses the proposed range and routing-conflict behavior is covered by tests.
