The need to protect the control plane components (routers, controllers, 
whatever you want to call them) from overload is a well-established 
practice in the industry.  It is expected by operators when they buy, 
and delivered by all major vendors in the devices they build.

Given that until recently it has been a behavior inside a device, no, it 
is not documented inan RFC.  That does not mean it is untrue or unrealistic.

Yours,
Joel
