+	//
+	// 1. We split all ports into several disjoint processes.
+	// 2. If a port has priority over another port, the two ports need to share
+	//    a process, so that priority can be reconstructed on the other end.
+	// 3. We want each process to be as small as possible, to avoid extra
+	//    priorities inferred on the other end.
