NCPROUTE received a status change request from the NCP client to delete the specified interface from its interface tables. The NCP client had deleted the interface from its configuration as a result of dynamic reconfiguration. NCPROUTE puts the interface in pending delete state so that routing outages can be reported to other interfaces and the incorrect addition of routes in routing responses can be prevented. NCPROUTE will continue to remove the specified interface from its tables until either the routes are timed out or a status change request to add a new interface with the same IP address is received.
