This Counter64 field tallies the bytes on the forward direction of this bidirectional CES tunnel that were forwarded, specifically traffic the device actually transmitted out of the tunnel after policing and queuing decisions had already been applied. Because this row is a closed, already-completed measurement interval kept in the CES-PM history table — a fixed, immutable snapshot of one specific past window, comparing this to the matching RxAccepted counter for the same direction shows whether everything the policer let in on ingress is actually making it out the egress side, 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 the most recently completed 15-minute bin this counter might climb by roughly 5.0 MB 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 forwarded volume both ways.
