When POSTing new networks take care that their IDs are not in use, otherwise you may overwrite an existing one. To create a new network with a random unused ID, POST to `/controller/network/##########______`. The #'s are the controller's 10-digit ZeroTier address and they're followed by six underscores. Check the `nwid` field of the returned JSON object for your network's newly allocated ID. Subsequent POSTs to this network must refer to its actual path.
Example:
`curl -X POST --header "X-ZT1-Auth: secret" -d '{"name":"my network"}' http://localhost:9993/controller/network/305f406058______`
**Network object format:**
| Field | Type | Description | Writable |
| --------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| id | string | 16-digit network ID | no |
