Description
Hello,
I'm using libcontainer to create containers inside a Go program. For that I create a config, that I pass to the factory to create an appropriate container, but I've got difficulties with configuring network for the container. OCI includes the specification for the network setup. There is also a section in the configs.Config for setting up the network. As I figured out runc does not look into this sections and support for that was removed.
Instead #1874 suggests that networking should be setup by "plugins". I assume that these are CNI plugins, but I did not find a proper way to integrate both. Is my assumption correct?
If yes, could you point me to some reference how can I combine CNI with libcontainer?

Research direction
Start by reading the networking-related section of configs.Config, the factory entry point, and issue #1874. Confirm whether CNI plugins are the intended integration and identify the supported way to combine them with libcontainer. Done means the integration path and a reference example are documented clearly.
