It's a port selector.

 

Scott,

You have in mind the id from the loc/id-split, that's why you say port. But this is not correct. Line 1 indicates how to get, from that "egress node", to the receiver.(whatever this egress node is: the true egress node, or some egress-CE node, or some egress-PE node)
