Sending to multiple input ports about fbp-spec HOT 3 CLOSED

@jpaulm in fbp-spec each graph (or component) being tested can have multiple exported inports or outports. Separate packets can be sent to any combination of input ports, and separate packets can be inspected from the output ports.

For example, if you have a math/Add component with inports ADDEND and AUGEND, and a outport SUM, you could send packets with int values 4 & 2 to the inports, and expect the SUM port to send a 6 out.

Basically the same as in FBP syntax doing:

'4' -> ADDEND Add(math/Add)
'2' -> AUGEND Add
Add SUM -> ... somewhere

I don't see that as being particularly non-classical :-)

Thanks, for the prompt answer, @bergie ! I get it - so that's just FBP business as usual! I guess I read it as meaning that the data could come from one output port and be sent to multiple input ports within a network - but that's not what was meant. Good news!

great! closing the ticket, then :-)
