PPP in hardware is for IP over SONET at 2.5 - 40 Gbps, good luck doing it in software...

In hardware there is no malloc- instead there is a pool of pages and the string would be stored as a linked list of such pages. Linux socket buffers do the same thing.

I assumed that your background was along these lines.

Now, how is that relevant to a chat protocol?
