When a mesh path timeouts it is marked accordingly and it is no longer
valid for routing. In a continuous traffic scenario this means that
every five seconds, the route are refreshed. Actually we start
refreshing one second before the route expires, so that we have a fresh
path before the current one times out.

Mesh path timeout does not _remove_ the path from the mesh path table,
so you will see it for a while, the table cleanup function which removes
from the table paths that have expired long ago has a separate timing.
