Attribute type matching algorithm.

 NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
 We have to implement a full type-matching in ODL-I3 classes.
 

Verifica che tra i due vettori di attributi vi sia corrispondenza di tipo per almeno uno degli attributi.

Parameters:

vatt1 - Vector of attributes for the first Interface.

vatt2 - Vector of attributes for the second Interface.

control
