OMG UML Specification:
The OMG UML specification (UML Superstructure Specification, v2.1.1, p.156) states:
A delegation connector is a connector that links the external contract of a component (as specified by its ports) to the internal realization of that behavior by the component's parts. It represents the forwarding of signals (operation requests and events): a signal that arrives at a port that has a delegation connector to a part or to another port will be passed on to that target for handling.
