This is a POSIX error with the following description:
"The destination host cannot be reached (probably because the host is 
down or a remote router cannot reach it)."

There was probably a network connectivity problem, or the reported host 
is down. The benefit of a messaging broker is that service should resume 
when connectivity to the affected host is restored.
