This read-create integer is the explicit-path identifier for a virtual-router-scoped MPLS path definition, letting an administrator reference this specific explicit-path configuration when building an LSP. It functions like csMplsPathIdentifier but within the virtual-router path configuration context. An administrator defining several candidate explicit paths for later selection by various LSPs would assign each a distinct csMplsVrPathIdentifier value, such as 10, 20, and 30.
