It sounds like you are using a NetBSD stack without the rest of
NetBSD, presumably in some sort of embedded context. Anything we could
thus tell you might not apply to the C++ based NetBSD derived stack
you are running. You have to make a lot of changes to rip a stack free
of its operating system.

In any case, though, the best kind of documentation is the source
code. You can easily search for instances of timer setup with grep and
other tools and determine what timers may be used where in your code
base. I would also recommend Stevens, "TCP/IP Illustrated", Volume 2
as a good general introduction to BSD network stacks.
