+There are several advanced network options that are made available through the `httpx.NetworkOptions` configuration class.
+
+```python
+# Configure an HTTPTransport with some specific network options.
+network_options = httpx.NetworkOptions(
+    connection_retries=1,
+    local_address="0.0.0.0",
+)
+transport = httpx.HTTPTransport(network_options=network_options)
+
+# Instantiate a client with the configured transport.
+client = httpx.Client(transport=transport)
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The options available on this class are...
+
+### `connection_retries`
+
+Configure a number of retries that may be attempted when initially establishing a TCP connection. Defaults to `0`.
+
+### `local_address`
+
+Configure the local address that the socket should be bound too. The most common usage is for enforcing binding to either IPv4 `local_address="0.0.0.0"` or IPv6 `local_address="::"`.
+
+### `socket_options`
+
+Configure the list of socket options to be applied to the underlying sockets used for network connections.
+For example, you can use it to explicitly specify which network interface should be used for the connection in this manner:
+
+```python
+import httpx
+
+socket_options = [(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BINDTODEVICE, b"ETH999")]
+
+network_options = httpx.NetworkOptions(
+    socket_options=socket_options
+)
+```
+
+### `uds`
+
+Connect to a Unix Domain Socket, rather than over the network. Should be a string providing the path to the UDS.
