It's when you receive and *accept* an ICMP redirect message from a rogue machine telling you that there's a better path (via a different gateway) to the network you want to reach.
You can and generally should disable it whenever possible.

net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0Insert mode
