[Nml-wg] Example topology of Automated GOLE

[Jerry Sobieski]

I am very nervous about this - we deliberatly did *NOT* use "port" in 
NSI because of the overloaded connotation. The Service Termination Point 
in NSI is *not* a port. ...not in the physical sense.   So we need to 
understand what a NML "port" represents.

Was there an example for this?

Thanks!
Jerry
