+ * 1) Distinguish between counter packets that belong to freed counter
+ * and the packets that belong to reallocated counter (with the same ID);
+ * 2) Make sure that all packets are received for a counter that was freed;
+ *
+ * API users should provide generation count out parameter in allocation
+ * function if counters can be reallocated and consistent counter values are
+ * required.
+ *
+ * API users that need consistent final counter values after counter
+ * deallocation or counter stream stop should provide the parameter in
+ * functions that free the counters and stop the counter stream.
