We just had this argument...:-)

Here is a (technical) post that was put here earlier.  Basically, it 
means your computer talks to a bunch of other computers in a short amount 
of time.  It CAN be ignored, but it can also let you know that you need 
to tune some of your IP options.

It is a number that starts at .75*(3600 s) and goes down by 25% every
ten minutes until there are either less than 128 unreferenced entries
in the per-host cache, or the value gets down to 10 s.  You need to
think about how many different systems regularly start TCP connections
to your machine and what sort of performance-memory tradeoff you want
to make, and adjust these MIB variables accordingly:

net.inet.ip.rtexpire: 3600
net.inet.ip.rtminexpire: 10
net.inet.ip.rtmaxcache: 128
