💜 Detailed Description 💜

RTE Port Source/Sink — literally the two most unbothered ports in the whole library, and I'm obsessed with them.

• source: an input port that can be used to generate packets. it just shows up and starts making packets out of thin air. main character energy fr fr.
• sink: an output port that drops all packets written to it. she takes everything you give her and lets it go. no notes. 💅
