No. It _may_ keep this list somewhere in global memory but normally
provider gets all necessary information from function call
parameters.
Only dispatcher knows everything because it has to translate
external handles into internal handles and vice versa.
Dispatcher can scan it's internal tables and collect information
from every provider mentioned there.

Right. But only if you tell him which connection you have in mind.

I meant Vulcan classic mode: non-shared cache.
