Hi, Authors,

   while using this model as a base to augment for technology-specific topologies, I wonder why the leaf network-types is a container, instead of being as a identity?

I remember I asked Alex offline before, but the response I got was that the identity was also under consideration at that time. Given the latest version (June 2016 version) still use container, I wonder if the authors can explain why the alternative is discarded? Thank you.

Regards,
Xian
