Default Re: What is a resonable number of drops?

there is no numbers that can say what is reasonable. It all depends on setup, applications, ammount of traffic generated etc. You will NEVER get down to 0 cause your firewall will always be hammered from internet side and you cant do squat about that, unless you disable logging ofc and that is kind of a point with logs so you can see what is going on realtime and historicaly ;)

If this is about dropped traffic generated from inside of your network you can always skip logging on trash traffic like broadcast/dhcp/bootp etc. It all depends on traffic when it comes to other applications but disabling those above would clear ur log a bit and then you can start hunting down what is left and generated from your internal network.
