What is apsChanSwitchovers?

This counts the number of times this channel has switched over between the working and protection lines. An admin watches for a high or steadily increasing count, since frequent switchovers can indicate an unstable working line even if each individual event is transparently handled. For example, seeing the count reach 12 over a week would justify investigating repeated flapping on that channel.
