Classes

An AllottedLink is a link provided (or allotted) by some service instance.   The Allottedlink may be incorporated into the topology of some consuming service like other links.

Anfd

An Anfd  (Allotted Network Function) is a network function provided (or allotted) by some service instance.   The allotted network function may be incorporated into the topology of some consuming service like other network functions.  Note:  the allotted network function is no longer derived from some allotted resource parent.
