"This module defines a model for the topology of a network.
Key design decisions are as follows:
A topology consists of a set of nodes and links.
Links are point-to-point and unidirectional.
Bidirectional connections need to be represented through
two separate links.
Multipoint connections, broadcast domains etc can be represented
through a hierarchy of nodes, then connecting nodes at
upper layers of the hierarchy.";

Topology types are indicated through separate data nodes;
the set of topology types is expected to increase over time.
To add support for a new topology, an augmenting module
needs to augment this container with a new empty optional

The use of a container allows to indicate a subcategorization
of topology types.

would always know to distinguish between links, every link
is identified by a dedicated link identifier.
