 If we look at the link between port `2480` and `orientdb`, it reads as follow: "traffic coming to host port `2480` will be routed to port `2480` of `orientdb`."

+Extended services (from `services.<service>.extends`) are displayed as components (just like normal services). The link between them and the extending services are
