Previously, the IP was generated in a network that would not encompass container's original IP: It only worked for /16 networks :)
To illustrate, with the previous incarnation:
192.168.123.2/24 would become 193.168.123.2/23, not very useful because the latter does not include the former.
OTOH with the fix
192.168.123.2/24 would become 192.168.122.2/23 which does actually include the former IP.
