Description: Number of packets dropped in Hardware
What is rcDiagPcapStatNumberOfPacketsDroppedInHardware?
This OID stores a text string showing the count of network packets that were discarded by the router's hardware (before reaching the CPU) during packet capture operations. High numbers indicate the capture buffer or hardware path was overwhelmed and couldn't keep all traffic. A network engineer would check this when using built-in packet capture to diagnose performance problems and needs to know if the capture itself is missing packets.
