> Attributes "ingress" and "egress" can only apply unambiguosly to non-"transfer" flows. In "transfer"
> flows, the standpoint is effectively shifted to the embedded switch. There can be many different endpoints
> connected to the switch, so the use of "ingress" / "egress" does not shed light on which endpoints precisely
> can be considered as traffic sources.

> Add relevant deprecation notices and suggest the use of precise traffic source items (PORT_REPRESENTOR
> and REPRESENTED_PORT).
