> This can occur with a synchronous cache.
> 1. A reads k1. This is an OOB call.
> 2. B processes the read message and sends back the response
> 3. C updates k1, at this stage B sends the invalidation message to A (OOB call)
> 4. A processes(ignores) the invalidation message
> 5. A puts the stale value sent at 2 in L1
> The OOB portions don't actually matter that they are OOB as even if B's messages were ordered it sill could process the get and update in a different order since they originate from different nodes.
> The initial thought is to solve this with some type of tombstone to sygnal the removal of the L1 cache, but this also still doesn't catch the problem if A did not have key k1 in it's L1 cache to receive an invalidation message.
