Input/output port.

Ports represent abstract named interfaces between components. Rather than communicating via direct event bus messaging, components send messages to output ports and receive messages on input ports. Ports do not have to be identically named between components in order to send and receive messages to one another. Instead, connections between ports on different components are defined in network configurations.
