The documents below seem to indicated that DOS mitigation from control plane
point of view is included.   Or am I not reading them properly?

So if you had a clean sheet of paper, and since you are designing for
profitability reasons you were going to deploy a 3825 to terminate your two
DS3's at the edge.  Since the 3825 has no (D)DoS mitigation capabilities
what are you going to deploy in front of or behind it to handle DoS?

ISRs support control-plane policing[1] right from first IOS release, which
effectively defends router itself from any (D)DoS attacks.
Most of the functionality is fast/CEF-switched anyway.
