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

[John MacAuley]

Hmm… that seems to be an unneeded artificial restriction.  I should be able to build up my unidirectional topologies into other network constructs based on my needs.  Saying you can only have unidirectional topology is like saying you can paint as much art as you want but only using black.

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?
