Tracking IP Route Reachability
When a host or a network goes down on a remote site, routing protocols notify the router and the routing table
is updated accordingly. The routing process is configured to notify the tracking process when the route state
changes due to a routing update.
A tracked object is considered up when a routing table entry exists for the route and the route is accessible.
