Finding the netPool used in DKM sample proj with simulator using full n

I'm trying to understand how the network stack functions in VXWorks6.9. and based off the Network Programmer's guide, it seems quite simple in terms of mBlks clBlks and clusters all allocated from pools (netPools, in this case). Ultimately, I will be
clearing state from the netStack without breaking it.
Despite having an overview of how memory MGMT is structured, I have no clear guidance on how specific networking functionality (e.g. pinging, opening a TCP socket, or receiving TCP packets over IP) is actually set up in vxworks. I've spent days
inspecting tNet0, netLibInit, its job queue (accessing this by calling netDaemons[0].jobQueue which I'm unsure is correct), the jobQueue's "standard pool", and others.
A good first step would be to actually locate netPools in the debugger as well as mBlks, clBlks, and clusters. If anyone has guidance on these structures it would be greatly appreciated--I would be happy to hire a consultant to help if that is possible!
