This reports whether the reverse-direction LSP of an associated pairing was provisioned statically or dynamically, independent of the forward leg's own type. An admin relies on this to know whether the return path will automatically re-signal after a failure or requires manual intervention, which is a real operational difference between the two legs of an asymmetric associated tunnel. For example, a reverse leg reported as type static(1) means an admin must manually reconfigure it if its path becomes unusable, unlike a dynamic leg that would re-signal on its own.
