Summary

The Port interface is defined as follows,

 interface Port : Service {
   PortProfile get_port_profile();
   ConnectorProfileList get_connector_profiles();
   ConnectorProfile get_connector_profile(in UniqueIdentifier connector_id);
   ReturnCode_t connect(in ConnectorProfile connector_profile);
   ReturnCode_t disconnect(in UniqueIdentifier connector_id);
   ReturnCode_t disconnect_all();
 };

The argument of Port::connect(in ConnectorProfile) is defined as in argument. Because of it, Ports cannot exchange connection information via ConnectorProfile.

To exchange connection information between Ports, ConnectorProfile argument should be inout.

 interface Port : Service {
   ReturnCode_t connect(inout ConnectorProfile connector_profile);
 };
