Ah. That is the packet drop variable in the RFC1149 Interface MIB.
Perhaps it is also the place where the dropped IOS buffers go.
Now that it's after midnight, I am thankful I survived this Friday
the 13th. I'm not superstitious, but I've had to deal with IRS
crises, the tail end of a cold, a banged-up knee, and a possible roof

You could go out into the street, and watch as a bird fell dead in
front of you the feathered corpse slapping to the sidewalk -- and
your realizing, in shock, that it was the dreaed Omen Pigeon.
Even worse was the Foo Bird of certain remote Polynesian islands in
which the birds could spray you with the foo secretion. If you
cleaned off thr e stickly foo sunstane you would intstantly die. It
became even more dangeroud when the ceteaceans devlopd thr lethAL FOO
ABILITY where every seal could clealy foo,
