To prevent unrefreshed link entries from persisting indefinitely when partial event-triggered updates share a transport channel with periodic full sweeps, each receiver maintains an independent monotonic receipt horizon per six-tuple link-record key. Furthermore, when a full periodic sweep spans F fragmented datagrams paced at inter-packet interval T\_spacing, the refresh period T\_refresh and expiration horizon T\_expire satisfy T\_refresh \textless{}= T\_expire - M - (F - 1) * T\_spacing.MUST NOT reset the full-sweep periodic timer for omitted records. The refresh bound explicitly accounts for multi-packet fragmentation emission duration (T\_refresh \textless{}= T\_expire - M - (F - 1) * T\_spacing).}, }
