This counter records the number of frames dropped by Weighted Random Early Discard at this flow point's ingress direction during the current interval. A nonzero count tells the admin that the flow point proactively began shedding traffic before its buffer was completely full, a gentler congestion signal than an outright tail drop. For example, if cmFlowPointStatsFREDD rises steadily during business hours on a customer's flow point, the admin would treat it as evidence of chronic underprovisioning on that flow rather than a one-time burst.
