Luca Gioppo commented on TOSCA-276:
-----------------------------------

But doesn't this generate confusion?
Doesn't "port" usually have another meaning?
When I read port I imagine port 80 or a "port on a NIC".
The meaning in the description is NIC.
Could another name be better to obtain the abstraction needed?
I do not understand why we need to call the NIC with a different name and with the one already used for the port.

> As stated in the documentation the F.5.2 tosca.nodes.network.Port is a NIC but we call it Port that is something very different.
> Proposal is to change the name of this node to NIC and not Port to help also better understanding.
