Zero-Copy Networking

Zero-Copy Networking is a technique that allows data to move directly between storage and network hardware without being copied into the computer’s main memory multiple times. This reduces CPU workload and increases data transfer efficiency. Normally, data travels through several steps, copying its information several times, which can slow down communication. Zero-Copy bypasses these steps, enabling faster, more efficient data transmission suitable for high-performance applications like servers and data centers, all while minimizing resource use and latency.
