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.
Defaults¶
