What is ppeIcmpPduMemoryFailures?

This read-only Counter tracks the number of unsuccessful attempts to allocate memory for an ICMP PDU. An administrator treats a rise here as an explanation for intermittent ping or traceroute failures against the device caused by internal memory shortage rather than a network problem. For example, the admin notices intermittent ping timeouts to the device coincide with a rising ppeIcmpPduMemoryFailures counter.
