[lug] Routing and whether network is down.

[Stephen G. Smith]

Looks like next hop is not available, you can see this for
any known host (router or pc or whatever).
It looks to know where to go for next hop but the host
is not responding..
Point being, "destination" can be any type of node on the network.

I hope this helps..
