If appropriate, yes. I have fixed IP fragments and this patch fixes 
inetpeer cache. In both cases (L3 artifacts) the vrf device index 
provides the means to uniquely identify duplicate IP addresses within a 
namespace. If you know of other code that might be impacted I will 
investigate and fix as needed.
