What is cisgIpsSgGlobalOutDropPkts?

This Counter64 totals the packets dropped during send processing across all currently and previously active Phase-1 control tunnels, per its description - the outbound counterpart to cisgIpsSgGlobalInDropPkts, reflecting the device's own inability to successfully transmit control-plane packets rather than a peer or network issue. A rising value here suggests local resource exhaustion affecting this device's ability to send IKE messages, which could cascade into tunnel timeouts on the peer side. An admin seeing this climb alongside general interface output drops would suspect a broader local congestion issue rather than something specific to IPsec signaling.
