5384.0. "When does the route cache get purged/flushed?" by CSC32::R_WILLIAMS () Thu Mar 27 1997 16:09

    Hi,
    
    Can somebody explained how and when the route cache will get flushed. 
    If one does not have dynamic routing enabled and gets many routes added
    to the route database because of ICMP redirects, how long will the
    additional routes stay in cache?  Also, is there a command to flush or
    purge the route cache?  Enhancement request maybe?
    
    Thanks for your comments.

  Hi Rick,
Just as a very partial answer, I also searched through the UCX doc. and 
through this conference. See Note 3228.1 (below) by MyTH, and I guess 
that nothing changed since this time.
  Regards,
  Pierre-Etienne

! Currently, routes learned as a result of ICMP redirect messages do not time 
! out, although we are looking at such a timeout as a possible enhancement 
! for a future version of UCX.
