This read-only Counter reports the number of times this node sent an ICMP redirect message because it found a shorter path to a destination network with the sender's requested type of service. An admin relying on ToS-aware routing would monitor this counter to confirm this node is issuing the expected service-specific redirects to its senders. For example, this counter incrementing after configuring a new QoS route would confirm the policy is being enforced via redirects.
