I'm sorry, but I am finding this a bit warped because there are two

and interfaces are in layer three devices such as in routers.

Hi,

Well whilst on about ports.
How about TCP sockets at least at one stage they used to be.
Once upon a time you referred to a funny "D" shaped thing with 25 little
holes in it as an RS232 serial port. Another with 15 pins as an AUI port.
Yes Cisco refer to them as "interfaces" but other

You should get slapped around for not capitalizing the first letter of a
