Discussion on: Mastering the Docker networking

Great article!
I've got a question - especially as networking is not a strength of mine.
Trying to figure out the difference between the bridge network and the saturno network. Why does the saturno network allow you to use the container name, where the bridge network doesn't.
I inspected both, and it seems the only difference are the options. Which one of the options for the bridge network, disallows the use of the container name?

I'm not aware of the internals but I guess that the default bridge network does not add containers to the /etc/hosts

Thanks!
