Detailed Description

vlib buffer structure definition and a few select access methods.

This structure and the buffer allocation mechanism should perhaps live in vnet, but it would take a lot of typing to make it so.

#define vlib_prefetch_buffer_header (   b,

)    CLIB_PREFETCH (b, 64, type)

Prefetch buffer metadata.

The first 64 bytes of buffer contains most header information

Parameters
b- (vlib_buffer_t *) pointer to the buffer
type- LOAD, STORE. In most cases, STORE is the right answer
