What is ipForwardAge?

This obsolete object indicated how many seconds had elapsed since a routing table entry was last updated or verified to be correct by the routing protocol. It helped administrators determine if a route was fresh and reliable or potentially stale. While obsolete in modern systems, it was useful for detecting when routes had not been refreshed recently.
