Hi,

If you can build a router for me that has a control plane which is 
completely unreachable from the outside, that would be sufficient
(but that would likely be a MPLS P router, who wouldn't need to look
at *any* IPv6 bits).

Today's routers *need* to be able to protect themselves, and that can
only be done by L4-aware rate limiting and ACLs.

So please stop repeating this "a router doesn't need any of this" - while
this is fairly nice for a theoretical router, it doesn't work out there,
and *this* is what should be interesting.  Not "ivory tower beauty".
