This is the lifetime running total of IGMP packets the switch has ever dropped due to insufficient IGMP-processing resources, accumulated in the TotalStatsBin independent of any interval boundary. Because resource-exceed events typically cluster around specific high-load incidents such as mass channel changes or multicast storms, a lifetime total that jumps sharply between two polls -- rather than climbing steadily -- points an operator toward correlating that jump with a specific past event, like a network-wide reboot causing simultaneous re-joins. For instance, a jump of several thousand in a single day likely coincides with a service-wide outage and recovery rather than everyday traffic.
