为什么当linux作为router使用时，安装docker后流量转发失败

场景

当一台linux机器作为其它服务器的router，负责转发流量的时候，让你在linux上安装docker之后，就会出现流量都被drop掉了

原因

没装docker之前：

[root@~]# iptables -t raw -nvL

装docker之后：

看到根本原因是：

Docker 将FORWARD链的默认策略设置为DROP。这时主机还充当路由器，这将导致该路由器不再转发任何流量。

解决办法

如果希望系统继续充当路由器，您可以ACCEPT向DOCKER-USER链添加明确的规则以允许它：

iptables -I DOCKER-USER -i src_if -o dst_if -j ACCEPT
