Description: The number of seconds since this route was last updated or otherwise determined to be correct. Note that no semantics of `too old' can be implied except through knowledge of the routing protocol by which the route was learned.
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.
