When a Virtual IP status changes such that a Virtual Address should transition from down to up, the update does not always get to all subscribers.
RHI might never be re-announced. The delayed update might not propagate the status change, because of the assumption that the previous update reached all subscribers, and might skip the delayed update.
Route Health Injection (RHI)-enabled Virtual Address and routing protocol on the Virtual IP.
