[Nml-wg] NML terminology: Port vs Interface

[Jason Zurawski]

Hi Freek;

On 9/27/11 3:32 PM, thus spake Freek Dijkstra:

It is unclear to me where options 3, 4, and 5 appeared from.  The last 
conversation on this issue (proposed by Jeroen on the mailing list, and 
presented at the last face to face meeting) was simply a change from 
'port' to 'interface'.

While I am fully in favor of ending the discussion, I fail to see how 
including *more* concepts is necessary.  That being said, I will vote in 
this poll and state for the mailing list my opinion:

  - PORT, and there should not be anymore more discussion on this issue, 
or proposals to change established terminology.
