What is cvsVSLTxLmpPkts?

This counts the number of Link Maintenance Protocol packets transmitted over the VSL, the protocol that continuously verifies VSL link health. An admin cares because LMP is the heartbeat mechanism for the VSL itself, so a healthy, steadily incrementing count confirms the link-maintenance layer is functioning. For example, this counter staying flat while other VSL traffic counters increase would suggest a problem specifically in the link-maintenance signaling rather than general data transport.
