2948G-L3 you meant? :)

Platforms in question are 7500 and 7200. Configuration command that worries
me is this or alike:

int type x/y/z
rate-limit input <rate> <burst> <burst> conform-action set-prec-transmit 0
exceed-action set-prec-transmit 0

which guys here used to use (and it's widely deployed) to get rid of any
preferential treatment for any kind of traffic. So, now I understand that
routing updates *will* be matched by this statement, but then another
question remanis:

If my interface has "Queueing strategy: VIP-based fair queuing", does it
give any preferential treatment to routing updates when they have original
precedence of 6?
