I guess that Attachment is better than Connection.

You catch me at the weak spot. :-). I still don's have clear idea how
we incorporate Authentication part into DNA work. 

IHMO, to be called attached, at least, a node should have a global IP 
address, a default router and other per interface parameters in RA, 
for example, link MTU, Reachable Time et cetra.
