A network namespace is logically another copy of the network stack,
with its own routes, firewall rules, and network devices.
By default process inherits network namespace from its parent. Initially all
the processes share the same default network namespace from the init process.

It is possible to lose the physical device when it was moved to netns and
then this netns was deleted with a running process:
$ ip netns add net0
$ ip link set dev eth0 netns net0
$ ip netns exec net0 SOME_PROCESS_IN_BACKGROUND

should be killed before deleting the netns:
$ ip netns pids net0 | xargs kill
$ ip netns del net0
