What is cvsVSLTxAckPkts?

This counts acknowledgment packets transmitted over the VSL, confirming receipt of other VSL protocol traffic. An admin cares because a healthy ratio of acknowledgments to the traffic they confirm is a sign the reliable-delivery mechanism on the VSL is functioning correctly. For example, a VSL sending substantial LMP or RRP traffic but showing a disproportionately low count here might indicate acknowledgments aren't being generated properly.
