TOSCA 1.2 extended the substituting mappings construct and made possible to map the properties of a node type to the inputs of the implementing topology in a clear, declarative and standard way.

virtualLink
| - the virtualLink requirement of the internal node extcp0
is explicitly mapped onto an external requirement using
the standard TOSCA substitution mapping syntax - the nf_role input of the implementing topology is
implicitly mapped onto an external property using
the "same name" naming convention, because the
TOSCA 1.1 syntax does not support this kind of mapping

nf_role: nf_role_XXX
| - the virtualLink requirement of the internal node extcp0
is explicitly mapped onto an external requirement using
the standard TOSCA substitution mapping syntax - the nf_roleXXX input of the implementing topology is
explicitly mapped onto an external property using
the property mapping syntax introduced in TOSCA 1.2.
The paired input and property do not have to have the same
name now.
