Well, I would think you should use the scanner in question as it may be
sending a malformed packet or some other sequence of data thats shutting
down the router, from there you could narrow it down to see what exactly is
causing it if its not just exhausting the router. But to answer your
question here are some basic Stress testing utilities that alot of people
use. Take your pic, it all comes down to preference.

Subject: 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
