I assume you mean Node-Port and Group-Port there? Why are you proposing to make Node a subclass of Group? I don't really see any practical reason for it, other than that it makes it esthetically more pleasing in the UML diagram, by having only one hasPort relationship. I do agree that it makes sense for Groups to have a hasPort relation so that we can describe aggregated topologies. Jeroen.
