I don't know about that,
All modern NPUs are based on the models well explained to the sufficient level in Stanford lectures and other materials 
which you can download freely. 
Once you learn how an ideal routing system architecture should look like you can start discovering flaws in the vendor 
NPU blueprints. 
But the best fun is to put IXIA or Spirent in loop with your favourite carrier router. 
What I'm trying to say is it's not that complex to find these routing system architecture shortcomings  - they will 
come out of the basic platform testing.
