```

**Available in:** all subroutines

Returns `true` if `t1` is after `t2`. (Normal timeflow and causality required.)

## Example

```vcl
if (time.is_after(now, time.hex_to_time(1000000, 
    beresp.http.X-Absolute-Cacheable-Microtime))) {
  set obj.cacheable = 0;
} else {
  set obj.cacheable = 1;
}
