'''New API''' (also referred to as '''NAPI''') is an interface to use [[Interrupt coalescing|interrupt mitigation]] techniques for networking devices in the [[Linux kernel]].
Such an approach is intended to reduce the overhead of packet receiving. The idea is to defer incoming message handling until there is a sufficient amount of them so that it is worth handling them all at once.
