The problem here is in how you and the vendor define modern. Cisco ships many
devices that require the control plane CPU to be involved in this activity.
Most platforms support a common control plane configuration, but some just do
it on that same CPU. You might as well reply to simple packets under those
circumstances.
You need to talk to the TME about where this processing happens for each
device. Assume it's in the main CPU unless they demonstrate otherwise.

I would hope that a modern router handled at least ICMP ECHO in
hardware.
