Transfer
An egress port that hands instances off to a target receiver — typically the IngressStation of another network — instead of disposing of them. This is the station-view realization of a network-to-network transfer "in a prescribed manner": an optional transferDelay models transport time, and an optional transform can re-mark/repackage the instance on hand-off.
The instance leaves this network (its number-in-system is decremented and a transferred event is published) but its creation time is preserved, so the receiving network records end-to-end system time when the instance is finally disposed.
Parameters
the network this transfer leaves from
the receiver in the destination (e.g., another network's ingress)
optional transport time before delivery
optional action applied to the instance on hand-off
the name of the station
Properties
True if this node has any onward routing configured (a static next receiver, a station-level sender, or a class route). A non-terminal node for which this is false — and which is not a non-terminal step of a registered route — is a dangling node and fails validation.
The name of this port, unique within its StationNetwork.
