Solution

Multicast or flood nexthop which uses indirect nexthop (path) requires mapping between indirect nh-id and jnh address to be maintained in s/w. This map entry is created when a flood or multicast nexthop is installed and removed when flood or multicast is uninstalled. In some scenarios, where indirect nexthop changes, map entry may be in an invalid state or not found. Error is logged in such scenarios.
