/**
* @brief Type to represent parts (either headers or payload) of a packet,
* called snips.
* @details The idea behind the packet snips is that they either can represent
* protocol-specific headers or payload. A packet can be comprised of
* multiple pktsnip_t elements.
*
* Example:
*
* buffer
* +---------------------------+ +------+
* | size = 14 | data +-------------->| |
* | type = NETTYPE_ETHERNET |------+ +------+
* +---------------------------+ . .
* | next . .
* v +------+
* +---------------------------+ +----------->| |
* | size = 40 | data | | |
* | type = NETTYPE_IPV6 |---------+ +------+
* +---------------------------+ . .
* | next . .
* v +------+
* +---------------------------+ +-------->| |
* | size = 8 | data | +------+
* | type = NETTYPE_UDP |------------+ . .
* +---------------------------+ . .
* | next +------+
* v +----->| |
* +---------------------------+ | | |
* | size = 59 | data | . .
* | type = NETTYPE_UNDEF |---------------+ . .
* +---------------------------+ . .
*
* To keep data duplication as low as possible the order of the snips
* in a packet will be reversed depending on if you send the packet or if
* you received it. For sending the order is from (in the network stack) lowest
* protocol snip to the highest, for receiving the order is from highest
* snip to the lowest. This way, if a layer needs to duplicate the packet
* a tree is created rather than a duplication of the whole package.
*
* A very extreme example for this (we only expect one or two duplications at
* maximum per package) can be seen here:
*
* Sending Receiving
* ======= =========
*
* * Payload * L2 header
* ^ ^
* | |
* |\ |\
* | * L4 header 1 | * L2.5 header 1
* | * L3 header 1 | * L3 header 1
* | * netif header 1 | * L4 header 1
* * L4 header 2 | * Payload 1
* ^ * L3 header 2
* | ^
* |\ |
* | * L3 header 2 |\
* | * L2 header 2 | * L4 header 2
* * L2 header 3 | * Payload 2
* |\ * Payload 3
* | * L2 header 3
* * L2 header 4
*
* The first three fields (next, data, size) match iolist_t (named iol_next,
* iol_base and iol_len there). That means that any pktsnip can be casted to
* iolist_t for direct passing to e.g., netdev send() functions.
*
* @note This type has no initializer on purpose. Please use @ref net_gnrc_pktbuf
* as factory.
