Hello Branko,

It means that the connection was closed due to control plane Reap messages.

Reap messages are a way for the ACE control plane to inform the dataplane to remove flows from the connection table.  This could be due to due to several reasons.  Some of them are

1. Clear connection

2. Remove a static route

3. ARP entry expires

4. Interface is down or deleted

The syslog indicates the reason why the connection was torn down and in this case it was due to a Reap message from the CP.
