By default timers are +expected to limit the max delay between any packet arrival/departure and a +corresponding interrupt. In this mode timer should be started by packet +arrival (sometimes delivery of previous interrupt) and reset when interrupt +is delivered. +Setting the appropriate attribute to 1 will enable ``CQE`` mode, where +each packet event resets the timer. In this mode timer is used to force +the interrupt if queue goes idle, while busy queues depend on the packet +limit to trigger interrupts.
