I don't know about that. With a good tcp connection with a big send window
the server can send 256KB or more ahead of the client, and keep the
network 100% busy. The polling technique doesn't seem to keep the pipe
quite as full due to turning around request/response packets.
Well, anyway, enough uninformed talk on my part. I'll just go measure it
and find out I'm probably wrong :=)
Anyway, I still agree with you that TFTP is our best starting point.
