/**
 * @file msgbuf_pool.h
 * @brief hICN msgbuf pool.
 *
 * The msgbuf pool is used to store packet payloads while the packets are in
 * transit, as well as holding them into the packet cache (PIT, CSS), WLDR,
 * mapme, etc.
 *
 * Control packets might receive a special treatment in that they are eventually
 * transformed into a ack/nack, but this should not affect any part of this
 * design.
 *
 * Do we need a reference count, or simply a lock ?
 * What about weak references ?
 * We need to be sure that a pool element is never referenced ever again after
 * it is deleted from the pool as its ID might be reaffected.
 *
 * It might even be better to store references to msgbuf's as they might hold
 * additional information of interest about the packet... a bit like a skbuff in
 * linux. Is this relevant for the packet cache ?
