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.
