We drop a packet if
it doesn't contain a usefull information (deauthentication frames, disassociations frames, ack frames, ...)
if it was transmitted twice or more
if it is damaged (and I mean really hard damaged)
Not processing this packets will save us much CPU time and space on SD-card of a Raspberry. The remaining packets are very useful, so we store them to pcapng file. That keeps the pcapng file small.
Running latest hcxdumptool you should count much more dropped packets.
