| - _plugin_ is a program that applies a specified network configuration. | ||
| - _attachment is the operation of applying a network configuration to a container, which results in an endpoint. | ||
| - _endpoint is a uniquely addressable, container-scoped connection to a single network. |

we don't currently use endpoint in the SPEC; we use attachment. For example, see the GC section.
While I think that endpoint is a good bit of verbiage, we don't currently use it.

Should I remove it?

Another thing that came up in the meeting: the spec makes no statements about addressability; it already has a notion of what is the primary key. So, we should say something like "uniquely identifiable" instead of addressable.
(aside: it's possible to have a container with no IPs at all :-) )

I made the change to say 'identifiable'

_endpoint is a uniquely addressable, container-scoped connection to a single network.
I'm just thinking v4/v6 network (dual-stack). In such case, _endpoint may addressed by two address. Should we change 'uniquely identified', not 'uniquely addressable'?

both keywords here are missing the _ suffix and the resulting syntax is not italics. otherwise lgtm.

We started this back in #903 however I am closing that and opening this one. Two comments by @dcbw @squeed @henry118 should be reviewed.
