48  * by allocating a pre-existing packet from a pool, using a static buffer,
49  * or by dynamically allocating memory. The method of allocation does not

51  * buffers to be allocated.
52  *

54  * @param direction : Indicates transmit/receive direction that the packet buffer is
55  * used for. This may be needed if tx/rx pools are separate.

70  * a packet buffer. The buffer can then be released back into a pool for
71  * reuse, or the dynamically allocated memory can be freed, according to
72  * how the packet was allocated.
