This document outlines a multi-host container networking solution called Weaveworks. It describes Weave as an overlay container network that allows containers running on different VMs or hosts to communicate. The document demonstrates Weave by showing a data producer container sending messages to an "HTTP" server container running on different hosts and connected through the Weave network. It also briefly describes Weave Run for IPAM, load balancing and service discovery and Weave Scope for visualizing containers.

11. Data producer
while true; do
# Get IP
IP=`hostname -i | awk '{ print $1 }'`
# Offer data on port 4540
echo "Hi, this is the data producer in $IP" | nc -
q 0 -l -p 4540
done

12. "HTTP" Server
while true; do
# Get a message from a data producer
DATA_PRODUCER_MESSAGE=`nc dataproducer 4540`
# Render message
HTML="… <h1>Chosen data producer message:</h1>
<h2>${DATA_PRODUCER_MESSAGE}</h2> … "
echo "$HTML" | nc -q 0 -l -p 80
done
