SPECTRA — Kernel ChannelCategoryEnum is ambiguous

Review 16-05-2025

ChannelCategoryEnum –
o I do not agree with the enumeration literal options for this enumeration.
o There are different types of networks and one of those types is a bus network.
o “Bus” and “Network” are not separate things.
o I believe “Network” is not the correct term here if you are talking about a hub and spoke type communications architecture as commonly implemented with routers.

NM: the intention was to keep bus as a very specific choice for e.g. ARINC 429 or MIL STD 1553. Link is a dedicated point to point connection, such as an antenna cable. In this case another literal is needed for more common types like Ethernet. Note also that there is specific CarrierInterface associated with a Channel to specify protocols and their significance for cyber security (e.g. whether a protocol susceptible to propagate an IUEI).
