If my experience interacting with end users in netnews is 
representative, these "routers" are likely as not the 
NAT/firewall/switch boxes like the one sitting between me and my DSL 
line at the moment.  They get branded with the term "router" all the 
time.

Of course that is just speculation on my part; email to the 
presentation authors (found on slide 1) would probably be a good way to 
find-out for certain.  It would also be a good way to find-out if the 
bugs found were reported to their respective vendors.
