+/* Virtual time allows to adjust VPP clock by arbitrary amount of time.
+ * It is done such that the order of timer expirations is maintained,
+ * and if a timer expiration callback reschedule another timer, this
+ * timer will also properly expire in the right order. IOW, the order
+ * of events is preserved.
+ *
+ * When moving time forward, each VPP thread (main and workers) runs an
+ * instance of the input node 'virtual-time-input' below. This node is
+ * responsible of advancing its own VPP thread clock to the next timer
+ * expiration. IOW each thread will move its clock independently one
+ * timer at a time. This also means that while moving time forward, each
+ * thread might not have the exact same view of what 'now' means. Once
+ * the main thread has finished moving its time forward, the worker thread
+ * barrier will ensure the timer between main and workers is synchronized.
+ *
+ * Using an input node in poll-mode has several advantages, including
+ * preventing 'unix-epoll-input' to sleep (as it will not sleep if at
+ * least one polling node is active). */
