+~~~~~~~~~
+This node is a source node which receives packets from kernel and forwards to
+any of the intermediate nodes. It uses the raw socket interface to receive
+packets from kernel. Uses ``poll`` function to poll on the socket fd for
+``POLLIN`` events to read the packets from raw socket to stream buffer and does
+``rte_node_next_stream_move()`` when there are received packets.
