> + * @par Buffer Pools
> + * Buffers are elements of buffer pools that represent an equivalence
> + * class of buffer objects that are managed by a buffer pool manager.
> + * ODP implementations MAY support buffer pool managers implemented in
> + * hardware, software, or a combination of the two.  An ODP
> + * implementation MUST support at least one buffer pool and MAY
> + * support as many as it wishes.  The implementation MAY support one
> + * or more predefined buffer pools that are not explicitly allocated
> + * by an ODP application.  It SHOULD also support application creation
> + * of buffer pools via the odp_buffer_pool_create() API, however it
> + * MAY restrict the types of buffers that can be so created.
> + *
> + * @par
> + * Buffer pools are represented by the abstract type odp_buffer_pool_t
> + * that is returned by buffer pool creation and lookup/enumeration
> + * routines.  Applications refer to buffer pools via a name of
> + * implementation-defined maximum length that MUST be a minimummap of
> + * eight characters in length and MAY be longer.  It is RECOMMENDED
> + * that 32 character buffer pool names be supported to provide
> + * application naming flexibility.  The supported maximum length of
> + * buffer pool names is exposed via the ODP_BUFFER_POOL_NAME_LEN
> + * predefined implementation limit.
> + *
> + * @par Segmented vs. Unsegmented Buffer Pools
> + * By default, the buffers in
> + * ODP buffer pools are logical buffers that support transparent
> + * segmentation managed by ODP on behalf of the application and have a
> + * rich set of associated semantics as described here.
> + * ODP_BUFFER_OPTS_UNSEGMENTED indicates that the buf_size specified
> + * for the pool should be regarded as a fixed buffer size for all pool
> + * elements and that segmentation support is not needed for the pool.
> + * This MAY result in greater efficiency on some implementations.  For
> + * packet processing, a typical use of unsegmented pools would be in
> + * conjunction with classification rules that sort packets into
> + * different pools based on their lengths, thus ensuring that each
> + * packet occupies a single segment within an appropriately-sized
> + * buffer.
