What is pshmemLostCells?

This counter tracks the total number of ATM cells that were discarded or lost for a specific port and priority queue due to buffer overflow or congestion. High values indicate packet loss and potential service degradation. An operator would monitor this counter to identify oversubscribed ports or queues requiring traffic engineering adjustments.
