This Counter64 field tallies the bytes on the forward direction of this bidirectional CES tunnel that were yellow on ingress, specifically traffic that arrived over the tunnel's committed rate but within its excess rate, so the policer marked it yellow (discard-eligible) instead of admitting it cleanly or dropping it outright. Because this is today's still-open 24-hour PM window, which keeps growing through the day and resets only when the daily boundary rolls over, a climbing count here is an early-warning sign that this direction of the tunnel is running over its committed bandwidth profile even though the traffic, for now, is still getting through, and tracking it separately per direction (forward vs. reverse) lets you tell whether a problem is one-sided rather than affecting the whole tunnel. For instance, over today's still-running 24-hour bin this counter might climb by roughly 48 KB of forward-direction traffic — if the matching counter for the reverse direction stays far lower (or far higher) than this one, that directional imbalance is itself the diagnostic clue, since a healthy bidirectional tunnel would normally carry fairly similar yellow volume both ways.
