Detailed Description

Handle packet metadata about packet headers and trailers.

This class is used by the Packet class to record every operation performed on the packet's buffer. This class also provides an implementation of the Packet::Print methods which uses the metadata to analyse the content of the packet's buffer.

To achieve this, this class maintains a linked list of so-called "items", each of which represents a header or a trailer, or payload, or a fragment of any of these. Each item contains a "next" and a "prev" field which point to the next and previous entries in the linked list. The PacketMetadata class maintains a pair of pointers to the head and the tail of the linked list.

Each entry in the list also maintains:

its native size (the size it had when it was first added to the packet)
its type: identifies what kind of header, what kind of trailer, if it is payload or not
the uid of the packet to which it was first added
the start and end of the area represented by a fragment if it is one.

This linked list is flattened in a byte buffer stored in struct PacketMetadata::Data. Each entry of the linked list is identified by an offset which identifies the first byte of the entry from the start of the data buffer. The size of this data buffer is 2^16-1 bytes maximum which somewhat limits the number of entries which can be stored in this linked list but it is quite unlikely to hit this limit in practice.

Each item of the linked list is a variable-sized byte buffer made of a number of fields. Some of these fields are stored as fixed-size 32 bit integers, others as fixed-size 16 bit integers, and some others as variable-size 32-bit integers. The variable-size 32 bit integers are stored using the uleb128 encoding.
