Question: Describe the following buffering mechanism in a reliable transport protocol

i. Chained variable-sized buffers

ii. One large circular buffer per connection

Flow Control and Buffering
If most TPDU are nearly the same size, it is natural to organize
the buffers as a pool of identically-sized buffers, with one
TPDU per buffer
If there is a wide variation in TPDU size, a pool of fixed-sized
buffer presents problem
If the buffer size is chosen equal to the largest possible TPDU,
space will be wasted whenever a short TPDU arrives
If the buffer size is chosen, less than the maximum TPDU size,
multiple buffers will be needed fro long TPDU, creates
more complexity
