nV ASR IOS-XR vrf ( Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System )

I was researching some unresolved VRFs interface  and found this vrf that I had no clue as  to why it was present until I did some deep researching.

  RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:CORE01#

If you have the following  package install    {  disk0:asr9k-9000v-nVx.x.x } , the above vrf will be created automatically by IOS-XR.  And the following internal interface will be crafted and bound to that VRF.
