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.
