This association defines a connection that is currently communicating, or is configured to communicate, between two ServiceAccessPoints. It is used when the connection is not treated as a ManagedElement itself (that is, with Status, statistics, and so on), but its existence is known. The SAPs that are connected are typically at the same networking or application layer.

'TRUE means that this connection is unidirectional; FALSE means that this connection is bidirectional. When the connection is unidirectional, the "speaker" should be defined as the Antecedent reference. In a bidirectional connection, the selection of which AccessPoint is the Antecedent or Dependent is immaterial.'
'Note: The use of this element is deprecated because it is incorrectly placed on the association. Unicast, broadcast, or other traffic types are not a function of the connection between the referenced endpoints, but rather are a function of the addressing, protocol and basic functionality of the endpoints. Deprecated description: A string that describes the type of traffic that is being carried over this instance when its Type property is set, for example, to 1 (Other).'

'A ServiceAccessPoint that is configured to communicate or is actively communicating with the Dependent SAP. In a unidirectional connection, this SAP is the one that is transmitting.'
'A second ServiceAccessPoint that is configured to communicate or is actively communicating with the Antecedent SAP. In a unidirectional connection, this SAP is the one that is receiving the communication.'
