This Counter64 field tallies the frames on the forward direction of this bidirectional CES tunnel that were dropped on ingress, specifically traffic that the policer discarded outright on ingress because it exceeded even the excess-rate allowance. Because this row is a completed prior day's 24-hour bin kept in the daily-history table, letting you compare one calendar day against another after the fact, any nonzero, growing count here is real traffic loss the attached service is experiencing in that direction, not just a policy flag, 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 yesterday's completed 24-hour bin this counter might climb by roughly 2,036 forward-direction frames — a step-change in that number right after a config change on this tunnel, with the reverse-direction counter unaffected, would tell you the change altered how much dropped traffic only that one direction is carrying.
