I thought that, with the subject title chosen by the OP, he had set himself
a sensible boundary to work to. Of course, for the article to get more
interesting than a mere "scratch at the surface" he does need to look a bit
more into it than his initial posting. I am sure that there is a lot of
interesting stuff on routers that, had we all got sufficient time, we would
all research quite deeply. Instead, we hope to find a useful paper or book
on the topic that gives us a reasonable view. Embedded systems in routers
is quite an interesting topic given the breadth of just that little portion.
