What is cvForwRouteUses?

This counter tracks how many times a specific VINES forwarding-table route entry has actually been used to forward a message. An admin cares because it distinguishes routes carrying real traffic from ones that exist in the table but sit idle. For example, if this counter for a backup route stays at zero while the primary route's counter climbs steadily, that confirms failover to the backup hasn't occurred.
