The biggest win in this regard is all the standard hardening/access BCPs for 
network infrastructure (iACLs, CoPP, DCN, et. al.), along with passiving OSPF 
on interfaces serving access networks.  

If an attacker has reached the point that he's able to perturb/abuse the IGP 
sessions between routers in one's network, one has much more basic security 
problems than worrying about IPv6/OSPFv3 multicast filtering esoterica, heh.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid, with millions
of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but
just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
