The Trivial File Transfer Protocol [1] is a simple, lock-step, file
transfer protocol which allows a client to get or put a file onto a
remote host. One of its primary uses is the booting of diskless
nodes on a Local Area Network. TFTP is used because it is very
simple to implement in a small node's limited ROM space. However,
the choice of a lock-step schema is not the most efficient for use
on a LAN.
This document describes a TFTP option which allows the client and
server to negotiate a windowsize of consecutive blocks to send
as an alternative for replacing the lock-step single block schema.
The TFTP Option Extension mechanism is described in [2].
