Passive Source - Active Sink

This step demonstrates the ActivePacketSink and PassivePacketSource modules. The active packet sink (ActivePacketSink) periodically pops packets from the passive packet source (PassivePacketSource).

The active packet sink module has a configurable collection interval. The passive packet source also has a configurable providing interval, which limits the times at which packets can be popped from the module.
