[Thinstation-general] TFTP boot speed related to tblocksize

[ak <kr...@ta...>]

Hello,

    I am new to this group, so beg my pardon, if question is duplicated 
(though I did not find any matches) or badly formed.

    I am using thinstation as FireFox and Terminal services client. I am 
using it to boot remote clients by the help of PXE + TFPT. As the boot image 
is quite large with these two clients and hardware support (~18+ Mb), it 
takes time to boot by TFTP.
    From TFTP logs I see, that negotiated block size is 1432 bytes. It is 
better, than default 512 bytes, but is still way less, than the biggest 
supported by server (65535 or 8192 as "optimal"). As whole boot environment 
is situated on the same switched Ethernet segment (both 100 Mbps physical, 
reliable and the same logical), there is no need to have such a small TFTP 
block size (equal MTU???).

    Maybe there is a way to increase TFTP block size, requested when 
thinstations boots, and hence increase boot speed?
