        As long as you take this network traffic into account you are fine.
For example, on a GigE link, it's a little ridiculous to say that 250Mbps of
traffic will be network traffic. If you configure a class (i.e. not
class-default) which matches your routing traffic and network traffic and
reserve the appropriate bandwidth for it you are fine.

        Depending on the platform the router may employ it's own queueing
strategy for essential network control traffic. For more info see this cco
