u16_t pbuf::ref

the reference count always equals the number of pointers that refer to this pbuf.

This can be pointers from an application, the stack itself, or pbuf->next pointers from a chain.

Referenced by pbuf_alloc(), pbuf_free(), and pbuf_ref().

u16_t pbuf::tot_len

total length of this buffer and all next buffers in chain belonging to the same packet.

For non-queue packet chains this is the invariant: p->tot_len == p->len + (p->next? p->next->tot_len: 0)
