Core routers usually don't have the CPU power to run IPsec (yes, it
sounds ridiculous, but it's mostly that way).
However, I agree that this won't have much impact on the network as a
whole. The emergency reconfiguration that took place during the past
weeks (and which is being touted by the media as a prudent
countermeasure) caused more large-scale destabilization than future
attacks. 8-(
