Narrative:
We were under radar vectors departing cle for dca. The controller called us and said we had entered a restr area that was hot. I was the PNF, the first officer was flying. I made especially sure to read back all instructions and altitudes that were given us by ATC. The controller came back with a reply that it was his error. The radio traffic was heavy and he was not using the aircraft's full call sign. My recommendation would be for the controller in the future when busy to limit his airspace control or provide routing to the crews in lieu of radar vectoring numerous aircraft. That would result in a # of various conflicts. Also, please note that the restr area is on the low area chart and not the high or SID for the cle area. Even if I was aware of the restr area, ZOB probably had control of that area and should have allowed a greater safety margin during busy traffic times.

Title: ACR MLG UNAUTH PENETRATION OF RESTRICTED AREA WHILE FOLLOWING RADAR VECTORS FROM ZOB.
Narrative: WE WERE UNDER RADAR VECTORS DEPARTING CLE FOR DCA. THE CTLR CALLED US AND SAID WE HAD ENTERED A RESTR AREA THAT WAS HOT. I WAS THE PNF, THE F/O WAS FLYING. I MADE ESPECIALLY SURE TO READ BACK ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND ALTS THAT WERE GIVEN US BY ATC. THE CTLR CAME BACK WITH A REPLY THAT IT WAS HIS ERROR. THE RADIO TFC WAS HEAVY AND HE WAS NOT USING THE ACFT'S FULL CALL SIGN. MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE FOR THE CTLR IN THE FUTURE WHEN BUSY TO LIMIT HIS AIRSPACE CTL OR PROVIDE RTING TO THE CREWS IN LIEU OF RADAR VECTORING NUMEROUS ACFT. THAT WOULD RESULT IN A # OF VARIOUS CONFLICTS. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RESTR AREA IS ON THE LOW AREA CHART AND NOT THE HIGH OR SID FOR THE CLE AREA. EVEN IF I WAS AWARE OF THE RESTR AREA, ZOB PROBABLY HAD CTL OF THAT AREA AND SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED A GREATER SAFETY MARGIN DURING BUSY TFC TIMES.
