Port requires a pointer towards the object containing implementations of methods specified in the interface.

Export provides the very pointer that port needs.

Port goes from caller towards callee.

Export goes from callee towards caller.

Pseudo-graphically:

//  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
//  |struct Top : sc_module {                                                          |
//  |                                                                                  |
//  | initiator.p1.bind( target.x1 );                                                  |
//  |                                                                                  |
