1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.40.3.3.2.1.12
This attribute counts the multicast packets this Vns component was expected to transmit, but had to discard. (For example, VNS packets may be discarded because there is no route to the given destination.) Packets counted here are not counted in multiTxPkts. The counter wraps around to zero when the maximum value is reached.
