What is discardOctets?

This read-only 64-bit counter reports the number of octets discarded by the queue's management mechanism. Admins use it together with discardPackets to gauge both the frequency and the data volume of drops on that queue. For example, a high discardOctets value with relatively few discardPackets would suggest mostly large packets are being dropped.
