A subnetwork connection is a link or network connection that you view as opaque, correct? I.e. I've got a connection between these two points, i either don't know or don't care how it's constructed. If so, would "opaque connection" be a more clear description?
Sure -- I'm certainly not saying that I'm a big fan of every word G805 come up with. However, there is a slight difference: a subnetwork connection is a opaque connections *through a given network*. What is 'network' in this context?
To recap: * link connection is a direct (or atomic) connection on a layer (think: link). * tandem connection is a sequence of link connections (think: a path or a segment of a path) * network connection is a tandem connection that will be terminated (think: a end-to-end path) Ok, the only issue I have is the differentiation between a tandem and network connection. They both seem to be paths, and the differentiating factor is what happens to the data after it leaves the connection (does it get forwarded on at the same layer, or does it get demux'd or adapted up to a higher layer).
