TOEs can remove the data copy on receive. In some applications (notably

a significant advantage that cannot be achieved in a software-only
solution.

You don't need to offload the TCP stack to make this case get
zero-copy behavior.
yes, Willy Tarreau outlined how buffering on the nic and splitting the dma can achieve zero copy.

are there any adapters out there which work this way?
