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