The routing cache can be easily DoS'd because it fundamentally
has performance which is a product of the characteristics of
the packets we receive, which is controllable by remote entities.

If we get rid of the routing cache, then our lookup performance
will be a product of the contents of the routing table which we
and the administrator have full control over.
