+ *
+ *                               timer_tick_ns
+ *                                   +

+ *
+ * - It has a virtual monotonically increasing 64-bit timer adapter clock based
+ *   on *enum rte_event_timer_adapter_clk_src* clock source. The clock source
+ *   could be a CPU clock, or a platform dependent external clock.
+ *
+ * - The application creates a timer adapter instance with given the clock
+ *   source, the total number of event timers, and a resolution(expressed in ns)
+ *   to traverse between the buckets.
+ *
+ * - Each timer adapter may have 0 to n buckets based on the configured
+ *   max timeout(max_tmo_ns) and resolution(timer_tick_ns). Upon starting the
+ *   timer adapter, the adapter starts ticking at *timer_tick_ns* resolution.
+ *
+ * - The application arms an event timer that will expire *timer_tick_ns*
+ *   from now.
+ *
+ * - The application can cancel an armed timer and no timer expiry event will be
+ *   generated.
+ *
+ * - If a timer expires then the library injects the timer expiry event in
+ *   the designated event queue.
+ *
+ * - The timer expiry event will be received through *rte_event_dequeue_burst*.
+ *
+ * - The application frees the timer adapter instance.
+ *
+ * Multiple timer adapters can be created with a varying level of resolution
+ * for various expiry use cases that run in parallel.
+ *
+ * Before using the timer adapter, the application has to create and configure
+ * an event device along with the event port. Based on the event device
+ * capability it might require creating an additional event port to be used
+ * by the timer adapter.
+ *
+ * The application creates the event timer adapter using the
+ * ``rte_event_timer_adapter_create()``. The event device id is passed to this
+ * function, inside this function the event device capability is checked,
+ * and if an in-built port is absent the application uses the default
+ * function to create a new producer port.
+ *
+ * The application may also use the function
+ * ``rte_event_timer_adapter_create_ext()`` to have granular control over
+ * producer port creation in a case where the in-built port is absent.
+ *
+ * After creating the timer adapter, the application has to start it
+ * using ``rte_event_timer_adapter_start()``. The buckets are traversed from
+ * 0 to n; when the adapter ticks, the next bucket is visited. Each time,
+ * the list per bucket is processed, and timer expiry events are sent to the
+ * designated event queue.
+ *
+ * The application can arm one or more event timers using the
+ * ``rte_event_timer_arm_burst()``. The *timeout_ticks* represents the number
+ * of *timer_tick_ns* after which the timer has to expire. The timeout at
+ * which the timers expire can be grouped or be independent of each
+ * event timer instance. ``rte_event_timer_arm_tmo_tick_burst()`` addresses the
+ * former case and ``rte_event_timer_arm_burst()`` addresses the latter case.
+ *
+ * The application can cancel the timers from expiring using the
+ * ``rte_event_timer_cancel_burst()``.
+ *
+ * On the secondary process, ``rte_event_timer_adapter_lookup()`` can be used
+ * to get the timer adapter pointer from its id and use it to invoke fastpath
+ * operations such as arm and cancel.
+ *
+ * Some of the use cases of event timer adapter are Beacon Timers,
+ * Generic SW Timeout, Wireless MAC Scheduling, 3G Frame Protocols,
+ * Packet Scheduling, Protocol Retransmission Timers, Supervision Timers.
+ * All these use cases require high resolution and low time drift.
