##### Overlay network size 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](#configure-service-discovery)
for more information about different endpoint modes.
