The current status of the device being polled:

The device is reachable but recently the polling
instance has not received some ping replies, so the
polled device may be going down.

Critica
l Down

The device is unreachable but the polling instance
received a reply to the last ping packet, so the polled
device may be coming back up.

receive a reply to before classifying the device reachable again.
