    I've never heard those terms used before, but a quick Google search leads me to believe the following:

    Parent routes are what most people call summary routes. Child routes are routes that have not or are summarized. Try researching 'route summarization' instead.
    I didn't look up Ultimate route, but I'm guessing this is the default route where the destination prefix does not match anything in the routing table.
