The DMA in the Ethernet subsystem transfers data based on a linked list of descriptors. The application creates the descriptors in the system memory. The Ethernet module supports the following two types of descriptors:
Each normal descriptor contains two buffers and two address pointers. These buffers enable the adapter port to be compatible with various types of memory management schemes.
There is no limit for the number of descriptors that can be used for a single packet.
