PoissonScheduler provides a mechanism to execute a given function/closure at timestamps determined by a Poisson process.
This is particularly useful in simulation and testing scenarios where events or requests need to be generated at a rate
that follows the Poisson distribution.
The Poisson process is a stochastic model that describes events that occur independently and at a fixed average rate. It's a popular model in various fields, including computer science, telecommunications, and finance.
