Cisco Enhanced Memory Buffer Pool Table

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.221.1.1.2

Entries in this table define entities (buffer pools in this case) which are contained in an entity (memory pool) defined by an entry from cempMemPoolTable. -- Basic Pool Architecture -- 1)Pools are classified as being either Static or Dynamic. Static pools make no attempt to increase the number of buffers contained within them if the number of free buffers (cempMemBufferFree) are less than the number of minimum buffers (cempMemBufferMin). With Dynamic pools, the pool attempts to meet the demands of its users. 2)Buffers in a pool are classified as being either Permanent or Temporary. Permanent buffers, as their name suggests, are always in the pool and are never destroyed unless the number of permanent buffers (cempMemBufferPermanent) is changed. Temporary buffers are transient buffers that are created in dynamic pools whenever the free count (cempMemBufferFree) of buffers in the pool drops below the minimum (cempMemBufferMin). 3)Buffers pools are classified as either Public or Private. Public pools are available for all users to allocate buffers from. Private pools are primarily used by interface drivers.
