This read-only gauge counts packets that arrived out of sequence (detected via the control-word sequence number) but were successfully reordered before playout. An admin monitors it as an early indicator of network jitter or path instability affecting the pseudowire, even though these particular packets were recovered without loss. For example, a technician seeing this counter climb, even while missing-packet counts stay low, would investigate the underlying packet network for reordering causes like ECMP path changes.
