What is rlPolicyActionDroppedPackets?

This is a Counter32 that tallies how many packets have been discarded specifically by this policy action. It tells an admin whether a given QoS/ACL rule's action is actually discarding matched traffic rather than just marking or redirecting it. For example, a steadily climbing count on a rate-limiting rule's action confirms that rule is actively throttling the traffic class it targets.
