Hi Kevin,
You are right - mbufs aren't a very good fit for lots of one- or
two-byte records. There is a circular buffer implementation buried in
the libs/util package that you might find useful. The relevant files
are:
* libs/util/include/util/cbmem.h
* libs/util/src/cbmem.c
A cbmem is initialized with a single flat buffer and can hold variable
sized records.
