+1. Overview
+
+A buffer pool enables processes to transfer buffers asynchronously.
+Without a buffer pool, a process calls a synchronous method of the other
+process and waits until the call finishes transferring a buffer. This adds
+unwanted latency due to context switching. With help from a buffer pool, a
+process can pass buffers asynchronously and reduce context switching latency.
+
+Passing an interface and a handle adds extra latency also. To mitigate the
+latency, passing IDs with local cache is used. For security concerns about
+rogue clients, FMQ is used to communicate between a buffer pool and a client
+process. FMQ is used to send buffer ownership change status from a client
+process to a buffer pool. Except FMQ, a buffer pool does not use any shared
+memory.
+
+2. FMQ
+
+FMQ is used to send buffer ownership status changes to a buffer pool from a
+buffer pool client. A buffer pool synchronizes FMQ messages when there is a
+hidl request from the clients. Every client has its own connection and FMQ
+to communicate with the buffer pool. So sending an FMQ message on behalf of
+other clients is not possible.
+
+FMQ messages are sent when a buffer is acquired or released. Also, FMQ messages
+are sent when a buffer is transferred from a client to another client. FMQ has
+its own ID from a buffer pool. A client is specified with the ID.
+
+To transfer a buffer, a sender must send an FMQ message. The message must
+include a receiver's ID and a transaction ID. A receiver must send the
+transaction ID to fetch a buffer from a buffer pool. Since the sender already
+registered the receiver via an FMQ message, The buffer pool must verify the
+receiver with the transaction ID. In order to prevent faking a receiver, a
+connection to a buffer pool from client is made and kept privately. Also part of
+transaction ID is a sender ID in order to prevent fake transactions from other
+clients. This must be verified with an FMQ message from a buffer pool.
+
+FMQ messages are defined in BufferStatus and BufferStatusMessage of 'types.hal'.
+
+3. Interfaces
+
+IConnection
+A connection to a buffer pool from a buffer pool client. The connection
+provides the functionalities to share buffers between buffer pool clients.
+The connection must be unique for each client.
+
+IAccessor
+An accessor to a buffer pool which makes a connection to the buffer pool.
+IAccesssor#connect creates an IConnection.
+
+IClientManager
+A manager of buffer pool clients and clients' connections to buffer pools. It
+sets up a process to be a receiver of buffers from a buffer pool. The manager
+is unique in a process.
