Connecting a Passive Source to Multiple Active Sinks
====================================================

The :ned:`PacketDemultiplexer` module connects to a passive packet source
on its input and multiple active packet sinks on its outputs. When one of the collectors requests a packet
from the demultiplexer, it pops a packet from the provider and forwards it to the collector.

In this example network, packets are collected at random intervals by several active
packet sinks (:ned:`ActivePacketSink`). The packets are provided by a single passive
packet source (:ned:`PassivePacketSource`). The source is connected to
the sinks using a demultiplexer, which simply forwards packets.
