CPE Connectivity Check
Static routes are used within many IES and VPRN services. Unlike dynamic routing protocols,
there is no way to change the state of routes based on availability information for the associated
CPE. CPE connectivity check adds flexibility so that unavailable destinations will be removed
from the VPRN routing tables dynamically and minimize wasted bandwidth.

The availability of the far-end static route is monitored through periodic polling. The polling
period is configured. If the poll fails a specified number of sequential polls, the static route is
marked as inactive.
