Description
The idea behind the groups field of the SwitchPortSettings structure is to be able to capture configuration elements shared across ports in one place and not have to repeat them everywhere. This was left as a TODO in #2645. Moving from static routing to BGP with a 2-way fanout is captured in the screenshot below, which is quite awful. A significant chunk of the mass repetition would be eliminated by factoring out common elements.
