sources - ModelList of elements to start from
target_attributes - list of attributes (pairs) to detect target attributes
allowed_links - list of attributes (pairs) to filter allowed links during traversing
chain_attribute - attribute that will be used to generate path string for chain_filters
the path string will be generated using values of the required attributes, separated by '-'
e.g. "ib_node-ib_port-ib_port-ib_switch_element-ib_switch"
chain_filters - list of regular expressions, all of them must succeed on target path string
, or it will be discarded
link_type - type for a new link
example: DiscoverConnect(list_of_switches, [("type", "ib_switch"), ("type", "node")], [("type", "ib")], "type", ["^.*-ib_port-ib_port-[^p]*$"], "logical_ib")
