Hello Arınç (and the rest of the list),

It's good to hear from you again.

I had not looked at your pages recently but we should make sure all the information makes it out of the playground into the main wiki.

I see that we have slightly different definitions for "interface" and "device" in DSA. Here are the versions:

DSA Mini-Tutorial - Terminology:
	https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/dsa/dsa-mini-tutorial#terminology

Playground - Definition of a Network Interface
	https://openwrt.org/playground/arinc9/network.interfaces#definition_of_a_network_interface 

Because I don't really know about DSA, I don't know how important it is to call an Ethernet switch port a "device" or whether it's OK simply to call it an "Ethernet interface".

How could we start to merge all these documents? Thanks.

Rich
