Description:
Paraphrased from the old Service Broker team blog: This wait type is when a thread is waiting for access to the next-hop destination list for a service so it can update or re-prioritize them, due to the addition or removal of a dialog from the service.
(Books Online description: “Occurs when the Service Broker destination list that is associated with a target service is updated or re-prioritized.”)
