### Overlay network limitations
You should create overlay networks with `/24` blocks (the default), which limits
you to 256 IP addresses, when you create networks using the default VIP-based
endpoint-mode. This recommendation addresses
[limitations with swarm mode](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/30820). If you
need more than 256 IP addresses, do not increase the IP block size. You can
either use `dnsrr` endpoint mode with an external load balancer, or use multiple
smaller overlay networks. See
[Configure service discovery](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/networking/#configure-service-discovery)
for more information about different endpoint modes.
