I don't know yet.  Separate to this, the copp documentation doesn't make it
clear how copp interacts with the cpu queues.

yeah, i've seen this happen in production.  Not pretty.

which is not exactly reboot persistent, nor does it solve the problem.

The documentation is very confusing.  The 15.3 documentation says:

But the 15.4 documentation says:

> •STP is the only supported protocol for control-place policy-maps.

wat?
