The difference between the two is that a Link is a combination of two uni-directional Links, and a Path is an ordered set of Network Elements. So a Path defines a complete circuit, while a Link is a single bi-directional hop.
Doh, you are right Jeroen, I thought that Roman was talking about Unidirectional Link (=primary building block), not about the Link (=grouping). (Clearly, my mind is still thinking in bidirectional links, not our unidirectional links). That said, I do no longer see the need for a (unidirectional) Path object, as discussed at OGF30. Freek
