CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_OFFLOAD
Offload Socket APIs [EXPERIMENTAL]
Type: bool
Help
Enables direct offloading of socket operations to dedicated TCP/IP
hardware.
This feature is intended to save resources by bypassing the Zephyr
TCP/IP stack in the case where there is only one network interface
required in the system, providing full BSD socket offload capability.
As a result, it bypasses any potential IP routing that Zephyr might
provide between multiple network interfaces.
See NET_OFFLOAD for a more deeply integrated approach which offloads
from the net_context() API within the Zephyr IP stack.
