Significance of Docker not creating Gateway property in bridge network?

Looking at the default bridge network Docker creates on my CentOS7.2 laptop, I see that the docs say that it should create a “Gateway” property in the “Config” block. I don’t have that. It has the “Subnet” property, just not the “Gateway” property.

Is this expected? What is the significance of this property being there or not being there?

Note that I’m currently using Docker 1.11.2 on CentOS7.2.
