What are the timeouts like...?

Like if the linux router decides to route packets to address1 over interface
eth1 at time t1, is there any kind  of time t2 later when the router will
start sending the packets over the other interface eth2 for the same
address1.. i.e how are sessions defined here..??

I know I should be looking at the source..;)

Thx,
A
