From the API docs, there is a good description of both;

[1] The goal of the memzone allocator is to reserve contiguous portions of physical memory.

[2] A memory pool is an allocator of fixed-size object. It is identified by its name, and uses a ring to store free objects. It provides some other optional services, like a per-core object cache, and an alignment helper to ensure that objects are padded to spread them equally on all RAM channels, ranks, and so on.


As a user of DPDK, the mempool will be the API of interest to allocate/free items.


Hope that helps! -Harry
