• passive_observer- owned by DDS_State connector, type is DDS_Read port type
• pull_consumer - owned by DDS_Event connector, type is DDS_Get port type
• pull_observer - owned by DDS_State connector, type is DDS_Get port type
• push_consumer - owned by DDS_Event connector, type is DDS_Listen port type
• push_observer - owned by DDS_State connector, type is DDS_Listen port type
• push_state_observer - owned by DDS_State connector, type is DDS_StateListen port type
• supplier - owned by DDS_Event connector, type is DDS_Write port type
