This is the only study I know that did something like that. It was
limited to a single router and is 2 years or so old.
this isn't a relevant study because the device in question was a
software-forwarded device (i.e. no separation between control plane and
forwarding plane). The devices we're talking about in this discussion
are systems which have separate management planes which can be
overloaded by excess traffic from the forwarding planes, unless specific
mitigating configuration is used.
Not sure why the authors of that report used a C1841 - that device dates
from 2004.
