Commit-notes

Routine tcp_print_buffer() is used to print portions of
non zero terminated buffers. If there is an existing routine
please let me know. I'm from the world of length fields
not zero terminated strings (zOS).

TCP Prtocol stack,

Why TCP:

Currently u-boot file transfers are done using tftp or NFS,
both over udp. This requires a request to be sent from client
(u-boot) to the boot server for every block of data.

For a 4 Mbyte kernel, with a 1k block size this requires
4,000 request for a block.

Using a large block size, one greater than the Ethernet
maximum frame size limitation, would require fragmentation,
which u-boot supports. However, missing fragment recovery
requires timeout detection and re-transmission requests
for missing fragments.

UDP is ideally suited to fast single packet exchanges,
inquiry/response, for example dns, becuse of the lack of
connection overhead.

UDP as a file transport mechanism is slow, even in low
latency networks, because file transfer with udp requires
poll/response mechanism to provide transfer integrity.

In networks with large latency, for example: the internet,
UDP is even slower. What is a 30 second transfer on a local
boot server and LAN increase to over 3 minutes, because of
all the requests/response traffic.

This was anticipated in the evolution of the IP protocols
and TCP was developed and then enhanced for high latency high
bandwidth networks.

The current standard is TCP with selective acknowledgment.

In our testing we have reduce kernel transmission time to
around 0.4 seconds for a 4Mbyte kernel, with a 100 Mbps
downlink.
