Network Buffer
[Hardware Layout.]

The network buffer handling is designed to make life easy when it comes to handling ISO-layered communications. By this we're thinking about communications structures that are hierarchically organized.

The idea is that network buffer structures are allocated every time a new packet is either received or ready for sending. The various fields of the network buffer are then handled by matching layers within the appropriate protocol stack.
