If you are mostly concerned about not being able to use the router console
during attacks, you may change the CPU scheduling a bit. A brief
"scheduler allocate 60000 2000" has helped me a lot there. The box
stays manageable.

This does of course not help you with the router "going dead" in regard to
packet forwarding...
