  Comment:
I think this proposal also allows the description of unidirected links, as described in artf6533.

Chin asked if it would be possible to describe the "noReturnTraffic" in a switch rather than as part of a subnet, since that is where that logic is 
implemented. Freek will provide an example for reference.

This proposal is fine by me

I used the isSource/isSink relation rather than the hasSource/hasSink relation. Not very convenient in this case :)

>   https://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/artf6503

Summary: We want to describe a LAN (or VLAN) between Nodes

Proposal: Use a single Link object, with multiple sources and sinks, and an optional parameter "noReturnTraffic" to signify that 

Rationale: A LAN is basically a broadcast domain, with multiple Ports. The "noReturnTraffic" is an optimisation in present (switched) networks, and 
seems the easiest way to describe the special case that no traffic flows back to it's source, like it used to in a old LAN with HUBs. The idea to put 
this in parameters comes from OGF 33:
https://forge.ogf.org/svn/repos/nml-examples/201109-switchservice/2vlans_option1.xml

Example:
<nml:Port id="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:PortAsrc">
  <nml:Relation type="isSource">
    <nml:Link idRef="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:VLAN42"/>
  </nml:Relation>
</nml:Port>
<nml:Port id="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:PortAsink">
  <nml:Relation type="isSink">
    <nml:Link idRef="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:VLAN42"/>
  </nml:Relation>
</nml:Port>
<nml:Port id="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:PortBsrc">
  <nml:Relation type="isSource">
    <nml:Link idRef="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:VLAN42"/>
  </nml:Relation>
</nml:Port>
<nml:Port id="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:PortBsink">
  <nml:Relation type="isSink">
    <nml:Link idRef="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:VLAN42"/>
  </nml:Relation>
</nml:Port>
<nml:Port id="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:PortCsrc">
  <nml:Relation type="isSource">
    <nml:Link idRef="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:VLAN42"/>
  </nml:Relation>
</nml:Port>
<nml:Port id="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:PortCsink">
  <nml:Relation type="isSink">
    <nml:Link idRef="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:VLAN42"/>
  </nml:Relation>
</nml:Port>
<nml:Link idRef="urn:ogf:network:example.net:2012:VLAN42">
  <nml:name>VLAN 42</nml:name>
  <nml:parameter name="noReturnTraffic">true</nml:parameter>
</nml:Link>

Note: the concept of using a nml:parameter is in-scope of this proposal. The exact XML representation of the nml:parameter is out-of-scope, and may be
 discussed later, if the WG prefers so.

This is a duplicate of artf6503. I closed that one because it has even fewer comments.

This issue should be updated with the discussion from the mailing list
