Based on its name and its position in the extended policer-counter table, which augments the firewall counter table with additional policer statistics on MX platforms, this object represents the total number of packets offered to this policer for rate-limiting evaluation. Illustratively, an admin would compare this offered count against jnxFWCntrPolicerTxPktCount to see how much traffic the policer is actually forwarding versus dropping. For example, if this counter reads 100,000 while jnxFWCntrPolicerTxPktCount reads 60,000, roughly 40,000 packets were discarded or remarked by the policer as out-of-spec.
