This attribute reflects the current state of the connection. The
pathDown state indicates a connection that has no remote end
provisioned or the application has not yet signalled for a path. The
selectingRoute state occurs when a request has been sent to route
selector and it has not yet responded. The connectingState occurs
while a path is being established. The pathUp state is the normal
operational state of a path. The pathDownRetrying state indicates a
path that attempted route selection but received no route and is now
waiting to retry route selection again.
