Comparison between dataflow variables and FBP ports in terms of dependency definition. A, How dataflow variables (blue and green) shared between processes (in grey) make the processes tightly coupled. In other words, process and network definitions get intermixed. B, How ports (in orange) bound to processes in FBP allow the network definition to be kept separate from process definitions. This enables processes to be reconnected freely without changing their internals.
