[SNIP]

My point was that its "easier to DoS attack a data-plane then a control-plane". I didn't make any other assertions about control-plane security.

[SNIP]

No I am not. Its easier to get access to the data-plane by an ordinary user. So anyone can really attack the data-plane, and they might not even know it. I did not mention trust at all.
[DOT] In some previous project work of mine, resulting in some path-based forwarding approaches, collaborators of mine in this project looked into this issue (motivations included to set forwarding bits even accidentally to 'send all'). Some of their work can be found at http://repository.essex.ac.uk/14611/ Key to the approach was to protect the access to the data plane; in a way arguing for a control plane to do so.
