What is cvnConnecteeType?
This indicates whether the entity attached to a virtual ethernet interface is an unknown type, a VMware virtual machine, or a VMware host. An admin cares because it clarifies at a glance whether a given port is serving an individual VM's traffic or an ESX host's own management or kernel traffic. For example, a port showing vmwareHost(3) rather than vmwareVm(2) tells the admin that traffic belongs to host-level networking rather than an individual guest.
