this is the only part of the description that seems slightly off to me. I'm not sure I can come up with a better description, but why the use of capitalised 'INTEGRATED_CIRCUIT'? I think I'm likely missing the significance of this term - it makes sense that a dedicated management only interface is not designed to make use of the devices dataplane, but what is the relevance of not connecting to an IC? Surely there could be a separate IC specifically designed to handle management plane traffic?
