Actually routing updates and L2 control packets are treated differently.
There is a separate queue, on some routers it's actually part of the default
queue. It's called the pak_priority queue. BGP is handled differently.
With BGP the IP precedence bits are set but not the pak_queue flag.

Here's a document showing this. I actually had this same question and
a Cisco AS guy I was working with explaned it to me.....

Why wouldn't regular routing updates fall into the class default queue if
you have configured one?

Configuring a class default in my mind is the same as the max reserved
bandwidth. Everything else goes in there.....routing updates and all other
traffic not defined by more explicit classes.
So if you configure class default then I wouldn't see how it would starve.
If you gave your default class 10% or 20% then everything that is not
specified by more explicit classes would get that amount of BW including
regular routing updates.

policy-map MYMAP
    Class FTP
        match proto FTP
        band 25%
    Class SMTP
        match proto smtp
        band 25%
    Class WWW
        match proto html
        band 40%
    Class default
        band 10% - Everything else....including routing updates....why
then keep the max-reserved-bandwidth?
