ok, we came to agreement on port naming:
we’ll use our own “abstraction” in Fabric API - <asic/card>//. with 1-based numbering, e.g. 1/1 is the first front panel port and 1/2/1 is the first breakout of the second front panel port
It’ll be used in all our APIs, CLIs, monitoring and etc. and we’ll have a CLIs to map between our API port name and NOS port name
SwitchProfile will carry the mapping from our API to the actual device port naming
In SONiC we’ll keep using the “native” port naming (Ethernet0, Ethernet4, Ethernet8, etc)
