[Nsi-wg] Bidirectional Link (was Re: [AutoGole] Ports relations)

[John MacAuley]

Ah yes, so I could use the isAlias in the unidirectional ports to determine port connectivity, then create the NML link objects for the unidirectional ports, and group them into Bidirectional links.  Now how are bidirectional links related to the bidirectional ports?  I can't seem to see a relationship for this.  Am I using a label?
