46 * This module contains the implementation of the OS Services buffer pool
47 * management service. This module provides routines for creating pools
48 * of buffers for exchange of network data, getting and returning buffers
49 * from and to the pool, and some other utility functions.
51 * Currently, the pool has 2 underlying implementations - one for the vxWorks
52 * OS, and another which attempts to be OS-agnostic so that it can be used on
53 * other OS's such as Linux. The API is largely the same for all OS's,
54 * but there are some differences to be aware of. These are documented
55 * in the API descriptions below.
57 * The most significant difference is this: when this module is used with
58 * the WindRiver VxWorks OS, it will create a pool of vxWorks "MBufs".
59 * These can be used directly with the vxWorks "netBufLib" OS Library.
60 * For other OS's, it will create a pool of generic buffers. These may need
61 * to be converted into other buffer types (sk_buff's in Linux, for example)
62 * before being used with any built-in OS routines available for
63 * manipulating network data buffers.
