Abstract

A system and method for communicating data between a first software and a second software located on first and second devices, respectively, has a hardware driver and memory associated with each device. Each communication of data from the first software to the second software allocates memory to manage data to be communicated from the first software to the second software, provides memory allocation information to the hardware driver associated with the first software, and transmits the data from the first hardware driver to the second hardware driver for delivery to the second software via the memory associated with the second software.
