What is cpwVcDescr?
This is a free-form text field an operator can populate with notes about the pseudowire's purpose, distinct from cpwVcName's canonical identifier, and it defaults to an empty string if never set. It's useful for recording context that doesn't fit a naming convention, such as circuit ownership or a ticket reference, directly on the device rather than only in an external inventory system. An admin might fill it with 'Backup PW for MPLS-TE tunnel 5, added per CR-2024-118' so anyone polling the device later understands why the VC exists.
