I added to your pics and included below. Your bottom picture is correct (second in the revised doc). The top picture has a link outside a network which doesn't fit my model, but I think is the way you think about it. I add a third pic to show that a network might terminate at the end of a link.
The top picture is meant to represent the physical topology. And would indeed be very similar to the way that the NML describes it.
So your third picture basically means that Owner B is equal to Owner C?
We have not defined this yet, but I imagine that in NML you can relate an owner to any object, including a Port and a Link. How exactly does that not fit your use-case?
So take your second picture, with the link described as a network. I don't know how to describe the interface between the middle network and the end networks. There is no link between them, so how do I know they are connected? How do I describe this in a topology?
