Description Rudolph 2020-03-04 07:56:53 UTC 
Example output of netstat -i -d --libxo json:

{"statistics": {"interface: [{"name":"em0","flags":"0x8843","mtu":1500,"network":"<Link#1>","address":"xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx","received-packets":13445,"received-errors":0,"dropped-packets":0,"sent-packets":7580,"send-errors":0,"collisions":0,"dropped-packets":0}, etc. etc.

"dropped-packets" is used twice. One is probably for "in" and the other for "out". Output without libxo:

Name    Mtu Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs Idrop    Opkts Oerrs  Coll  Drop
em0    1500 <Link#1>      xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx    14803     0     0     8191     0     0     0
etc.
Comment 1 Phil Shafer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-05-27 14:48:34 UTC 
Yes, this should be "dropped-packets-input" and "dropped-packets-output" to make this clear and useful.

Thanks,
 Phil
