receivers.)
Table C-4.
*This value always comprises the first instance of the duplicate
message in the current log throttle period plus all previous occurrences
of the duplicate message occurring since the switch last rebooted.
C-36
Three duplicate instances of the PIM "Send error" during the first log
throttle period for this event
Five more instances of the same Send error during the second log throttle
period for this event
Four instances of the same Send error during the third log throttle period
for this event
