+
+        ActiveFeeder is an adapter module which allows to connect to passive connectors. As long as
+        none of the connectors is throttled, the ActiveFeeder will forward packets from it's input
+        to it's output.
+
+        \note For this Module to work correctly, it is very important for the connectors to be
+            correctly throttled. Otherwise the system might well hang in an endless loop.
