What is etsysNacApplAuthenticationDroppedPackets?

A Counter64 tracking how many authentication-related packets the NAC Appliance has dropped since startup. Admins watch this counter to catch packet loss on the authentication path, which can silently cause end-user login failures without an obvious error. A NAC appliance under CPU load might start dropping incoming authentication packets, so this counter climbing alongside high CPU utilization would confirm the appliance itself as the bottleneck.
