Field Name Field Description
Reuse merit Figure-of-merit value below which a suppressed route can be used again. A suppressed route becomes
reusable when its figure-of-merit value decays to a value below a reuse threshold, and the route once
again is considered usable and can be installed in the forwarding table and exported from the routing
table.
Figure-of-merit value above which a route is suppressed for use or inclusion in advertisements. When
Suppress/cutoff merit
a route's figure-of-merit value reaches a particular level, called the cutoff or suppression threshold,
the route is suppressed. When a route is suppressed, the routing table no longer installs the route into
the forwarding table and no longer exports this route to any of the routing protocols.
