What is cvsVSLPortRxBidirPkts?

This Counter32 records how many received packets on a VSL port explicitly indicated the link was operating bidirectionally. Bidirectional confirmation matters because the VSL must carry traffic in both directions to keep the virtual switch's two chassis acting as one device. A network engineer troubleshooting a suspected one-way VSL fault would watch this counter to confirm the peer is actually receiving and acknowledging traffic back.
