What is ethIfCurrentOutputCongestionDropped?

This OID holds a counter measuring network packets dropped on a network interface during the current time interval due to congestion (too much traffic). When the output queue fills up faster than the interface can send, packets are discarded. An operator watches this to detect when an interface is overwhelmed and needs capacity upgrades or traffic load balancing.
