It hasn't crashed our routers (yet), but it has caused some big problems.
We've seen BGP sessions resetting and have lost some OSPF adjacencies.  We
also loose all connectivity to the routers while it's happening.   Also, the
average packet loss across our backbone jumps to about 4-5% during the 
'attack'.
