What about the clients connected to the different containers ? For 
example, you have 100 containers, all are configured with 192.168.1.100 
and have an application binded to INADDR_ANY:80.
In front of that, you have 100 clients. Each of them are connected to 
the application running in each container.
One container is migrated to another machine on the network, it is not 
possible to keep the same address, so the address is changed to 
192.168.1.200. The clients connected to 192.168.1.100 will lose the 
communication.
