In 7600 it is simply not possible because of hardware limitation. I'd be surprised if 7600 was alone here. But does this actually matter? Probably not. I assume we have functional market, and if there was business case in having secure control-planes we would have them. Networks work because no one is motivated to attack the infrastructure, not because we can or have protected it. I expect in time of crisis all state actors can disable the infrastructure in matter of minutes, as they likely have collection of these problems that control-plane protection has. But we will probably fix the infrastructure in matter of days, so probably even then not a big deal. -- ++ytti
