 * A zero copy USB transport provides an efficient way to handle data.
 * by avoiding the extra copy when recv() or send() is called on the handle.
 * Rather, the zero copy transport gives the caller memory references.
 * The caller informs the transport when it is finished with the reference.
 *
 * On Linux systems, the zero copy transport can use a kernel packet ring.
 * If no platform specific solution is available, make returns a boost asio
 * implementation that wraps functionality around standard send/recv calls.
