Spoofing involves forging source IP addresses to impersonate another host, and while it can support other attacks, it does not by itself cause one router to be flooded while another is starved of traffic.

Packet manipulation refers to altering the content or headers of in-transit packets, which affects data integrity but does not produce a traffic flooding or starvation effect on routers.

A DoS attack floods a target with more traffic than it can handle, exhausting its resources and making it unavailable to process legitimate packets. In a BGP environment, directing attack traffic at one router saturates it while the second router receives no legitimate traffic, producing the exact flooding-and-starvation asymmetry described. This also disrupts normal BGP peering and route advertisement between the two devices.

Eavesdropping is a passive interception attack that monitors network traffic without modifying it, causing no disruption to packet flow or router resource consumption.
