- <para>The Type identifier for special route types, which can be

- <literal>blackhole</literal> packets are discarded silently,
- <literal>unreachable</literal> packets are discarded and the ICMP message host unreachable is generated,

- Defaults to <literal>unicast</literal>.
+ <para>Specifies the type for the route. If <literal>unicast</literal>, a regular route is defined, i.e. a
+ route indicating the path to take to a destination network address. If <literal>blackhole</literal>, packets
+ to the defined route are discarded silently. If <literal>unreachable</literal>, packets to the defined route
+ are discarded and the ICMP message "Host Unreachable" is generated. If <literal>prohibit</literal>, packets
+ to the defined route are discarded and the ICMP message "Communication Administratively Prohibited" is
+ generated. If <literal>throw</literal>, route lookup in the current routing table will fail and the route
+ selection process will return to Routing Policy Database (RPDB). Defaults to <literal>unicast</literal>.
