 * 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.
