I agree that the parent(s) are only checked when the child changes state. This is scalable but it does leave open this edge case.

I would guess that it's possibly related to state changes. I think the classification of down vs. unreachable only happens upon state changes. States can be OK (up) or non-OK (down or unreachable) The child host (down) is in a non-OK state. When its parent goes into non-OK (down) , the child was
