Hello,

I've been watching the output from "route monitor" and the contents 
of my routed trace file and I've been seeing messages like the following:

got message of size 112
RTM_LOSING: Kernel Suspects Partitioning: len 112, pid: 0, seq 0, errno 0,
flags:<UP,GATEWAY,DONE,STATIC>
locks:  inits: 
sockaddrs: <DST,GATEWAY,NETMASK>
 rdf.netscape.com dialupE238.mpls.uswest.net default


Can someone please give me more information on just what the RTM_LOSING
message means? I looked at the documentation for route, routed and even
poked around in the kernel code, but this doesn't seem to be well
documented. Hopefully someone out there with a better knowledge of routing
can explain this message to me. If it helps to see what my routing tables
looked like when this message came out, here they are:

ppp0 is connected to a Hayes Enhanced Serial Port (ESP) card.

Thanks,

Brian
