I am experimenting with docker checkpoint feature. I have a udp client program running in a container. It was able to run the container and send messages to an udp server outside of the container. I then took a checkpoint of the container. It seems to be OK by looking at the log. But when I tried to restore back to the checkpoint. The udp client program stopped sending messages. It didn’t have any obvious error in the restore log.
My system configuration is as follows:
Ubuntu 16.04.1
CRIU 3.10
Docker client 17.03.2ce
The following are the commands that I issued to create the problem.
docker run --network=host --name udp_c_static_C udp_c_static
docker checkpoint create --leave-running udp_c_static_C checkpoint1
docker stop udp_c_static_C
docker start --checkpoint checkpoint1 udp_c_static_C
Here are some tail-end of the logs from checkpoint and restore:

I am new to docker, any help will be greatly appreciated.
additional information
“docker ps” indicates that it is running after I restore it. But when I do a “ps all” from a shell, it doesn’t show “docker” as a process which it did prior to the “docker stop” & “docker start -checkpoint …” commands.
Also, the container was built with SCRATCH, and only the udp_c_static program was in it. And udp_c_static was built with statically linked libraries.
