> Currently, validation of a LocalPort simply checks that it has an outgoing
> connection. This means that it's possible to create an outgoing connection
> for a port but not have any incoming connections. When this happens, if the
> Port is started, the framework determines that it is a "source component"
> because it has no incoming connections. As such, it is never yielded via the
> "bored yield duration". This results in high CPU usage.
> The fix in this case, I believe, is to address the validation. We should not
> allow a Local Port to be enabled if it has no incoming connections.
