In addition to that, how many times have you heard that we should disable
CDP for security reasons? I'm sure there are some companies that aren't
allowed to run CDP for this reason. Then again, that's usually a big company
that probably wouldn't want to run ODR in the first place.

John,
I have come across ODR in production a couple of times. Up until
recently I had thought that ODR worked quite well for hub and spoke
topologies...
My most recent involvement with ODR occurred when replacing a 2621 with
a 3745, which was the hub of the hub-and-spoke topology. I quickly
learned that the 3745 doesn't enable CDP by default. I was also reminded
that Cisco doesn't save configuration commands that are considered
default...
What ended up happening was CDP was not enabled by default and when I
enabled it ("cdp run") the command wouldn't save because it was
considered a "default" command! Each time the router booted CDP was
disabled again!
I recommend to everyone that ODR not be used in a Cisco production
environment. You never know when an IOS (platform?) bug will render your
WAN unusable!
