Counts packets silently dropped outbound on the specific interface in this row. A nonzero value here is less common than inbound drops since it represents packets the gateway itself was about to send out that direction but discarded, worth checking against routing or policy rules that might be unintentionally blocking legitimate outbound traffic on that specific link. Example: fwDropPcktsOut rising only on the interface toward a specific backup ISP link could indicate a routing loop or misconfigured rule silently discarding traffic meant to fail over onto that path.
