This read-only Counter32 rolls up ICMP Route Group reports related to route changes for this row's MAC address (MacIndex) in the mli ICMP-report history table, per its description covering Redirect datagrams for Host, Net, and combinations with TOS. A rising count tells an admin that routers are actively steering this host's traffic onto different paths, which can be a normal reaction to a topology change or a sign of an unstable routing configuration. If mliRouteChange spikes right after a router failover, an admin would treat it as expected; if it keeps climbing steadily afterward, an admin would suspect a routing flap involving that host.
