+# Using Networks
+
+With the release of Docker 1.9 you can now manage custom networks.
+
+
+Here you can see how to create a network named ```network1``` using the ```bridge``` driver
+
+```python
+docker_client.create_network("network1", driver="bridge")
+```
+
+You can also create more advanced networks with custom IPAM configurations. For example, 
+setting the subnet to ```192.168.52.0/24``` and gateway to ```192.168.52.254```
+
+```python
+
+ipam_config = docker.utils.create_ipam_config(subnet='192.168.52.0/24', gateway='192.168.52.254')
+
+docker_client.create_network("network1", driver="bridge", ipam=ipam_config)
+```
