NetworkIngress

A boundary port through which QObject instances enter a StationNetwork. An ingress performs the network's entry bookkeeping (increment the number in system, publish the entered-network event) and then forwards the arriving instance to the first internal receiver.

A SourceStation is the self-contained special case of an ingress that also generates the arriving instances. Externally created instances (for example, transferred from another network) can also enter through an ingress so that the network is an open system.
