Abstract

A container network includes a first container system that includes a first container first type communication interface, and a second container system that includes a second container first type communication interface. The second container system communicatively couples to the first container first type communication interface via the second container first type communication interface to form a first container-to-container connection. The second container system performs an exchange of election information of the first container system and second container system with the first container system via the first container-to-container connection, and elects, based on the election information, a second container second type communication interface included on the second container system to provide container network communications to a wide area network. The second container system then provides the container network communications via the second container second type communication interface to the wide area network.
