\section ppi_modules Modules
It is possible to connect two active or passive connectors with each other using a special
adaptor module (senf::ppi::module::PassiveQueue or senf::ppi::module::ActiveFeeder
respectively).

Additionally, the connectors must be type-compatible: Either one (or both) of the connectors
must be untyped (they accept arbitrary senf::Packet's, the optional tempalte argument is empty),
- or they both accept the same type of packet. This check is performed at runtime.

To complete our simplified example: Lets connect senf::ppi::module::ActiveSocketReader and
senf::ppi::module::PassiveSocketWriter to our example module:
The PPI really is not concerned, how the events are called and what information is needed to
perform the call. This is handled by the <a

All events are derived from senf::ppi::EventDescriptor. The base class allows to enable and
