[Nml-wg] NML terminology: Port vs Interface

[Freek Dijkstra]

All,

A few years ago the NML group agreed to describe an object equal to the
G.800 "Forwarding Point", but name it "Port", after prior usage in the
NM-WG.

Recently, it was proposed to rename this object to "Interface", after
some confusion over the term "Port" in two projects.

To end this discussion, I ask everyone reading this mail to vote what
they think is the best term. The options are:

* Port
* Interface
* ForwardingPoint
* LogicalPort
* LogicalInterface
* No discussion, but further discussion on this term

This is a ranked ballot, so if you don't care about the name, but like
this discussion to end, you can rank the first five options with high
priority (rank 1), and the last option (further discussion) as rank 6.

Please vote at:

The voting system has some easy-to-circumvent methods in place to
prevent people voting multiple times. If you have problems voting, let
me know.

Thanks,
Freek
