This new machinery simply introduces object-level integrity functions in the application (i.e., BGP), it does nothing to ameliorate attacks at lower layers - all those substrate attack vectors (e.g., transport connection resets, injection or replay attacks) still exist and require controls as well -- else things might break in even uglier ways at higher layers.
