Abstract
A method of managing a fixed length memory block pool having a plurality of memory blocks includes receiving a memory block address from a memory management module, in which the memory block address corresponds to an available memory block. The method further includes decrementing the memory block address by an amount substantially equal to a size of the overhead area of the available memory block.
