Just to provide another viewpoint, I occasionally notice routers sending
source quench messages. This is known behavior for some 3com Office Connect
routers, and the IP Routing FAQ on Cisco's web site states that prior to IOS
version 11.3/12.0 a Cisco router will generate a source quench message if
(and only if) it does not have enough buffer space to queue the packet.
More recent IOS versions don't bother to do this.
