This read-only counter reports the number of packets of traffic that originated on this router and were forwarded over the current LDP FEC. Paired with jnxLdpIngressOctets, it lets admins derive an average packet size for locally originated traffic on this FEC, subject to the same several-minute reporting delay from the default 5-minute statistics interval. Comparing jnxLdpIngressPackets across successive polls would give the admin a rough sense of how much locally sourced traffic this router is pushing into that LSP.
