Can one namespace DoS other namespaces' access to the routing cache? Two scenarios come to mind: * provoking hash collisions * lock contention (sorry, haven't checked whether/how we do locking)
My initial expectation is that the protections we have to prevent one user from performing a DoS on another user generally cover the cases between namespaces as well. Further in general global caches and global resource management is more efficient then per namespace management. Eric
