Abstract
The use of enqueue operations to append multi-buffer packets to the end of a queue includes receiving a request to place a string of linked buffers in a queue, specifying a first buffer in the string and a queue descriptor associated with the first buffer in the string, updating the buffer descriptor that points to the last buffer in the queue to point to the first buffer in the string, and updating a tail pointer to point to the last buffer in the string.
