What is cvsVSLTxPingPkts?
This counts the number of VSL PING packets transmitted, used for ongoing reachability testing across the VSL. An admin cares because a steadily incrementing ping count is a lightweight, continuous confirmation that the VSL path is being actively verified as reachable. For example, this counter halting while other counters keep climbing would specifically flag an issue in the VSL's reachability-testing mechanism.
