Nettopilling

Nettopilling refers to the practice of using a computer's network interface card (NIC) to connect to the internet, while the computer's central processing unit (CPU) and other components are not actively used. This is often done to reduce energy consumption and heat generation, as the CPU and other components can consume a significant amount of power and generate heat. Nettopilling is typically used in situations where the computer is only needed for internet access, such as in a home office or a small business. The computer can be left on for extended periods of time, allowing it to remain connected to the internet without the need for frequent reboots or maintenance. However, it is important to note that nettopilling can also lead to increased wear and tear on the computer's components, as they are constantly running at a low level of activity. Additionally, some computers may not be designed to handle extended periods of low-level activity, which could potentially lead to hardware failures. Therefore, it is recommended to monitor the computer's performance and maintenance requirements when using nettopilling.
