what does <OACTIVE> ifconfig flag mean?

Hi folks,

Just a quick question. I noticed that `ifconfig tra0` gives me different
results when I run it, and I can't figure out what's causing it.

Normally the output of the command gives

tra0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX>
.....

But once in a while I get

tra0: flags=9863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,OACTIVE>
.....

What is the OACTIVE flag about?

I haven't been able to find any documentation about it, so I would welcome a
point in the right direction or an answer if it's simple.

In case it's important, the system is a clustered 8400 running DU4.0D PK3.

Thanks for any help.
