+ * @defgroup IxAtmdAccAPI IXP400 ATM Driver Access (IxAtmdAcc) API
+ *
+ * @brief The public API for the IXP400 Atm Driver Data component
+ *
+ * IxAtmdAcc is the low level interface by which AAL0/AAL5 and
+ * OAM data gets transmitted to,and received from the Utopia bus.
+ *
+ * For AAL0/AAL5 services transmit and receive connections may
+ * be established independantly for unique combinations of
+ * port,VPI,and VCI.
+ *
+ * Two AAL0 services supporting 48 or 52 byte cell data are provided.
+ * Submitted AAL0 PDUs must be a multiple of the cell data size (48/52).
+ * AAL0_52 is a raw cell service the client must format
+ * the PDU with an ATM cell header (excluding HEC) at the start of
+ * each cell, note that AtmdAcc does not validate the cell headers in
+ * a submitted PDU.
+ *
+ * OAM cells cannot be received over the AAL0 service but instead
+ * are received over a dedicated OAM service.
+ *
+ * For the OAM service an "OAM Tx channel" may be enabled for a port
+ * by establishing a single dedicated OAM Tx connection on that port.
+ * A single "OAM Rx channel" for all ports may be enabled by
+ * establishing a dedicated OAM Rx connection.
+ *
+ * The OAM service allows buffers containing 52 byte OAM F4/F5 cells
+ * to be transmitted and received over the dedicated OAM channels.
+ * HEC is appended/removed, and CRC-10 performed by the NPE. The OAM
+ * service offered by AtmdAcc is a raw cell transport service.
+ * It is assumed that ITU I.610 procedures that make use of this
+ * service are implemented above AtmdAcc.
+ *
+ * Note that the dedicated OAM connections are established on
+ * reserved VPI,VCI, and (in the case of Rx) port values defined below.
+ * These values are used purely to descriminate the dedicated OAM channels
+ * and do not identify a particular OAM F4/F5 flow. F4/F5 flows may be
+ * realised for particluar VPI/VCIs by manipulating the VPI,VCI
+ * fields of the ATM cell headers of cells in the buffers passed
+ * to AtmdAcc. Note that AtmdAcc does not validate the cell headers
+ * in a submitted OAM PDU.

+ * @brief Provide free mbufs for data reception on a connection.
+ *
+ * This function provides mbufs for data reception by the hardware. This
+ * function needs to be called by the user on a regular basis to ensure
+ * no packet loss. Providing free buffers is a connection-based feature;
+ * each connection can have different requirements in terms of buffer size
+ * number of buffers, recycling rate. This function could be invoked from
+ * within the context of a @a IxAtmdAccRxVcFreeLowCallback() callback
+ * for a particular VC
+ *
+ * Mbufs provided through this function call can be chained. They will be
+ * unchained internally. A call to this function with chained mbufs or
+ * multiple calls with unchained mbufs are equivalent, but calls with
+ * unchained mbufs are more efficients.
+ *
+ * Mbufs provided to this interface need to be able to hold at least one
+ * full cell payload (48/52 bytes, depending on service type).
+ * Chained buffers with a size less than the size supported by the hardware
+ * will be returned through the rx callback provided during the connect step.
+ *
+ * Failing to invoke this function prior to enabling the RX traffic
+ * can result in packet loss.
+ *
+ * This function is not reentrant for the same connId.
+ *
+ * This function does not use system resources and can be
+ * invoked from an interrupt context.
+ *
+ * @note - Over replenish is detected, and extra mbufs are returned through
+ * the rx callback provided during the connect step.
+ *
+ * @note - Mbuf provided to the replenish function should have a length greater or
+ * equal to 48/52 bytes according to service type.
+ *
+ * @note - The memory cache of mMbuf payload should be invalidated prior to Mbuf
+ * submission. Flushing the Mbuf headers is handled by IxAtmdAcc.

+ * @note - When a chained mbuf is provided, this function process the mbufs
