We are using the same definition informally I think.  Formally, I don't 
know of any networks where the actual network control traffic (routing 
protocols) are on a completely independent, out of band network, nor would 
I recommend such a design for any use cases I can think of.

If you change "control traffic" to "management traffic" in your statement, 
then I think we'd be in complete agreement.
