CoPP and MPP
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/security-center/copp-best-practices.html Control Plane Policing (CoPP) – CoPP is the Cisco IOS-wide route processor protection mechanism. As illustrated in Figure 2, and similar to rACLs, CoPP is deployed once to the punt path of the router. However, unlike rACLs that only apply to receive destination IP packets, CoPP applies to all packets that punt to the route processor for handling. CoPP therefore covers not only receive destination IP packets, it also exceptions IP packets and non-IP packets. In addition, CoPP is implemented using the Modular QoS CLI (MQC) framework for policy construction. In this way, in addition to simply permit and deny functions, specific packets may be permitted but rate-limited. This behavior substantially improves the ability to define an effective CoPP policy. (Note: that “Control Plane Policing” is something of a misnomer because CoPP generally protects the punt path to the route processor and not solely the control plane.) CoPP Policy Construction and Deployment Concepts Before describing the details of CoPP policy construction and deployment, some of the important details related to MQC and its operation, especially within the context of CoPP are discussed.
In MQC, the class-map command is used to define a traffic class. A traffic class contains three major elements: a name, one or a series of match commands, and an instruction on how to evaluate these match commands. Match commands are used to specify various criteria for classifying packets. Packets are checked to see whether they match the criteria specified in the match commands. If a packet matches the specified criteria, that packet is considered a member of the class and is treated according to the QoS specifications set in the service policy. Packets that fail to meet any of the matching criteria are classified as members of the default class.
The instruction for evaluating match commands is specified as either match-any or match-all. When more than one match statement is included, match-any requires that a packet match at least one of the statements to be included in the class. If match-all is used, a packet must match all of the statements to be included in the class.
The policy-map command is used to associate a traffic class, defined by the class-map command, with one or more QoS policies. The result of this association is called a service policy. A service policy contains three elements: a name, a traffic class (specified with the class command), and the QoS policies. The purpose of the service policy is to associate a traffic class with one or more QoS policies. Classes included within policy maps are processed top-down. When a packet is found to match a class, no further processing is performed. That is, a packet can only belong to a single class, and it is the first one to which a match occurs. When a packet does not match any of the defined classes, it is automatically placed in the class class-default. The default class is always applied, whether it is explicitly configured or not.
The service-policy command is used to attach the service policy, as specified with the policy-map command, to an interface. In the case of CoPP, this is the control-plane interface. Because the elements of the service policy can be applied to packets entering, or in some versions of CoPP, leaving the interface, users are required to specify whether the service policy characteristics should be applied to incoming or outgoing packets.
It is important to note that MQC is a general framework used for enabling all QoS throughout Cisco IOS, and not exclusively for CoPP. Not all features available within the MQC framework are available or applicable to CoPP policies. For example, only certain classification (match) criteria are applicable to CoPP. In some instances, there are MQC platform and/or IOS-dependencies that may apply to CoPP. Consult the appropriate product references and configuration guides for any CoPP-specific dependencies.

One of three planes in a communication architecture that is structured in layers and planes, the management plane performs management functions for a network and coordinates functions among all the planes (management, control, data). The management plane also is used to manage a device through its connection to the network.
Examples of protocols processed in the management plane are Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Telnet, HTTP, Secure HTTP (HTTPS), and SSH. These management protocols are used for monitoring and for CLI access. Restricting access to devices to internal sources (trusted networks) is critical.
Benefits of the Management Plane Protection Feature
Implementing the MPP feature provides the following benefits:
-Greater access control for managing a device than allowing management protocols on all interfaces
-Improved performance for data packets on nonmanagement interfaces
-Support for network scalability
-Simplifies the task of using per-interface ACLs to restrict management access to the device
-Fewer ACLs needed to restrict access to the device
-Management packet floods on switching and routing interfaces are prevented from reaching the CPU
