Nearly all UNIX boxes with the multicast functions in the TCP/IP stack or
kernel will show this routing entry.
It's the multicast network route for things like MBONE, NTP and
rwho and ruptime and so on. Don't worry about it too much.
If it really niggles you, you can kill it off (not sure how this done on
Linux) but then some mcast programs (as above and more) may fail to
operate.
