router stress testing tools

I am looking for information and tools to stress test routers. Any
information, white papers, tools, settings for hping, etc. would be
appreciated. The incident I am trying to reproduce is related to
scanning through the router and the router running out of sessions
creating a DOS attack, I think? This testing is in response to yet
another "your scanner brought the router, down incident" and I am sure
you can imagine the rest. We do have a duplicate router in our testing
facility so don't worry I am not trying to DOS anyone.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Disclaimer: I know I have the ability to do my own research and
testing, but if you all are nice, it sure could save me a lot of time.
 Enough time is something most security guys are lacking. This isn't
my area of expertise, but I will answer questions on any topics that I
know something about. Please send an useless flames to
nobody[nospam]@nowhere.com
