The '''Virtual Interface Architecture''' ('''VIA''') is an abstract model of a user-level [[zero-copy]] [[computer network|network]], and is the basis for [[InfiniBand]], [[iWARP]] and [[RDMA_over_Converged_Ethernet|RoCE]]. Created by [[Microsoft]], [[Intel]], and [[Compaq]], the original VIA sought to standardize the interface for high-performance network technologies known as System Area Networks (SANs; not to be confused with [[Storage Area Network]]s).
