Hello
Actually the line that I wanna understand is:
Announcement bits (3): 0-KRT 5-Resolve tree 2 8-BGP RT Background
Thanks in advance
Announcement bits simply take care of accounting which protocols are consumers of the actual route. For instance, in your example, you have '3' because the 'clients' which have state for this route are Kernel (0-KRT), 5 (resolution tree process 2) and 8 (BGP).
Normally each 'client' of the route sees only its own announcement bits and when a client request for the route to be cancelled, the route is really flagged for cancellation but as far as no other clients exist for this particular route, it is flagged for cancellation but not actually deleted until no clients are associated to it.
