Can anyone tell me what this is?

Routing Protocol is "application"

Thank you in advanced!

Hi,

I believe this output is a stub output related to the possible support of Cisco's implementation of Software Defined Networking named Open Network Environment. Application routes are the routes installed by ONE controllers and applications. Even though your router may not necessarily have support for ONE, this output is being printed out on most platforms with recent IOSes.

You may be interested in reading more information about ONE at http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/trends/open_network_environment/index.html

Best regards,
Peter

This is the full output I am confused about. This is from my ASR 1004:

#sh ip protocols

*** IP Routing is NSF aware ***

Routing Protocol is "application"

Sending updates every 0 seconds

Invalid after 0 seconds, hold down 0, flushed after 0

Outgoing update filter list for all interfaces is not set

Incoming update filter list for all interfaces is not set

Maximum path: 32

Routing for Networks:

Routing Information Sources:

Gateway Distance Last Update

Distance: (default is 4)
