Attribute scope across systems: global and local attributes

An attribute whose value applies to all systems is global in scope. An attribute whose value applies on a per-system basis is local in scope. The at operator (@) indicates the system to which a local value applies.

An example of local attributes can be found in the following resource type where IP addresses and routing options are assigned per machine.
