[Boost-users] Fwd: [naive] relationship between deadline_timer and io_service

Dear Boost community, I have a rather simple question (some would say dumb) : I have been using the deadline_timer in asio library for a couple of hours, but I don't get why it is associated with an io_service (in fact, I don't get why this is in this library rather than in the date_time or timer library). I know it may seem trivial, but it is not to me, and I am worried I am missing something. regards, Ernest Galbrun.
