Matthew Rutkowski commented on TOSCA-276:
-----------------------------------------

This is as the Network adhoc and YAML WG designed it.  It is the goal of TOSCA to abstract IaaS and in terms of application software the knowledge of hardware (e.g., in this case NICs) is abstracted as the result (if successfully connected) is a "Port".

Working as designed.

> 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.
