In show route forwarding-table output,

I see 2 types of recv entry :

---show route forwarding-table---
Routing table: default.inet
Internet:
Destination Type RtRef Next hop Type Index NhRef Netif

1. 72.36.112.8/32     dest     0 72.36.112.8        recv   552     1 vlan.902

2. 72.36.113.2/31    user      0                               recv   33        26

What does the second entry mean ? Does it mean that those packets are destined for router ? What does it do with those packets. 

please
loook at these:

" user—Routes installed by the routing protocol process or as a result of the configuration."

In this page you can see that 10.0.0.3/32 address is learning by OSPF (show route) and then you have it in show route forwarding-table.

thanks dr_trauma for sharing those links but still that did not answer my question.

1. aren't  recv routes  destined to router ? Juniper doc just says "Receive" so its nor forwaded ? what is done to these packets

2. if they are not to be destined to router and need to be forwaded then when it is of type "user" how do we find out its Nexthop ?

Hi Jiten.

1) IN www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos93/swcmdref-protocols/show-route-forwarding-table.html you can view as Next hop type of receive.

The

  72.36.113.2/31    user      0                               recv   33        26

is a next-hop received in a User route-type , and then you forward packet to next-hop NHREF, that it's in show route forwarding-table extensive  or show pfe route ip preffix ..

"

Next hop Type (Type)

Next-hop type. When the detail keyword is used, the next-hop type might be abbreviated (as indicated in parentheses):

• broadcast (bcst) —Broadcast.
• deny—Deny.
• hold—Next hop is waiting to be resolved into a unicast or multicast type.
• indexed (idxd)—Indexed next hop.
• indirect (indr)—Indirect next hop.
• local (locl)—Local address on an interface.
• routed multicast (mcrt)—Regular multicast next hop
• multicast (mcst)—Wire multicast next hop (limited to the LAN).
• multicast discard (mdsc)—Multicast discard.
• multicast group (mgrp) —Multicast group member.
• receive (recv)—Receive."

2). Can you try " show pfe route ip prefix  72.36.113.2/31 detail"

You can view explanation in http://www.junosandme.net/article-junos-load-balancing-part-1-introduction-105738134.html You would see NHREF 33   (72.36.113.2/31    user      0                               recv   33        26) in this command
