There's always a security hazard with public, named database links.
It will allow users on db1 to view data from db2, which may not
be desirable...
As for network traffic: it depends on what is done via the link;
I've seen some very bad examples with views over dblinks, where
a *lot* of data was retrieved in order to satisfy the view
