Subject: network namespaces usage in routing appplications with VRF-like
 features

Hi,
I'm trying to evaluate the use of network namespaces in some routing applications, which are currently based on the VFR patchset.
I was thinking about distributing several interfaces among a few namespaces, whereby each namespace has its own routing table(s), ala VRF.
The questions that I have are:
1. Can I open a listening socket that accepts traffic from all interfaces in all namespaces? That's the current behavior of my routing protocol daemons.
2.   Does RTNETLINK API support adding routes to a particular namespace routing table?

Thanks,
Jacob
