Description
I'm searching any hints how to start creating my own copy of a bridge networking driver with some additional features for communication protocol testing.
I think running these steps would be my way:
- create a running copy of some network plugin in my local docker 20.10 instance
- add hard coded "bad line quality feature" like dropping 1% of UDP packets
- Add configurable options from some external config file for dropping features
Any hints how to start this?

Research direction
The issue does not name a driver implementation, test, or entry point. Begin by locating the bridge networking driver in the Docker 20.10/libnetwork code, then determine how a copy could support packet dropping and external configuration; done would require a defined, tested configurable behavior.
