It has undergone some testing, and it handled 240 clients just fine.
There was some usage of TCP that is being converted to UDP, and in
doing so it is being made more robust.

The testing for the networking booting side will happen as soon as I
have a functinging implementation in etherboot.

So the protocol is still undergoing refinement.

As I get the code completed/committed.  Baring problems that should be
later this week.
