Add positive vanFlow linkage from LINK to the attached ACCESS_POINT #1541

Closed ted-ross closed 2 months ago

VanFlow currently has no good mechanism for determining which routers are connected to which other routers. Now that there is a distinction between ACCESS_POINTS (listeners) and LINKS (connectors), it will be possible to annotate the LINK records with the identity of the ACCESS_POINT record to which it is currently connected.

As part of this change, ACCESS_POINT should be renamed to ROUTER_ACCESS to match the CRD. Both ROUTER_ACCESS and LINK must has a 'name' attribute that links to the name of the configuration item that caused it.

Plan on using the PEER attribute in LINK to identify the ROUTER_ACCESS it is connected to.
