What is paused
The destination being held — a domain, a receiving address, or * for everything the node sends.
In detail
The wildcard is the part worth knowing: * pauses the whole node without stopping the service, which is the right way to take a node out of rotation while leaving it reachable, connected and inspectable. Anything else names a domain or a receiving address. Paired with the other columns — sending address, tag, expiry, cluster scope — it covers everything from "hold this one domain from this one address for ten minutes" to "stop this cluster now".
