What is totalDrops?
This read-only Counter reports the total number of packets dropped or filtered by the device's packet filter. An admin monitors this as an overall measure of how much traffic the packet filter is discarding, a useful high-level health/security indicator. A sudden spike in this counter could indicate either a misconfigured filter rule or an active attack being blocked.
