I think that PBUF_REF was probable not implemented at the time of Marc Wells's email, and it happened as a result. Certainly sounds like his PBUF_EXT type is very similar to PBUF_REF. I'm happy to close this as done already, but please reopen if others disagree.

This is rather old...
I'm CCing to lwip-users to get some comments.

I don't really understand why Marc Wells did it this way, instead of preallocating PBUF_POOLs and giving those to the RX-queue of the ethernet device...

I'm aware that PBUF_REFs do have some corners that are not clear to me (especially ARP queueing). But I'm not sure if we need the 'real buffer pointer'.

Any comments?

In order to support referencing payload buffers in pbuf, safety checks are needed. The proposal is to follow the
ideas set out by Marc Wells in his email to the -unavailable- mailing list on 21-Mar-2003. URL here:
