Subject: Current state of Network Namespaces (NETNS, CLONE_NEWNET)?

Sorry for the shotgun mail, but in the end,  it's
not clear who can best answer my question(s).

I'm currently trying to add documentation of all of
the undocumented CLONE_* flags.  One of these is
CLONE_NEWNET, and I could use (quite a lot of) help.  

My questions:

What is the current state of the network namespace 
implementation?  Is it complete?  

What objects are considered part of the network 
namespace, and therefore distinct for a new network 
namespace?

Is there any documentation for network namespaces 
already?

Are there any test programs for network namespaces?

Thanks,

Michael
