This chapter describes messages with the PPMD prefix. They are generated by the periodic packet management process (ppmd), which maintains routing protocol adjacencies for the routing protocol process (rpd).
Soft assertion failed at line line-number in file 'source-filename' with error "message", but ppmd with PID pid continued running
The source code for the periodic package management process (ppmd) includes internal self-consistency checks. As the ppmd process with the indicated process ID (PID) executed the binary compiled from the indicated source file, a check failed at the indicated line number in the file. The ppmd process created a diagnostic core file for analysis by technical support personnel and continued to run.
