What can you say about the getting performance? Do you have some results
to show it?

AFAIK, most of *nix guys cannot test this directly. Default TFTP server
for the most Linux distributions was a netkit-tftp. The NetKit tftpd
only supports RFC783. So, they have to install alternate TFTP server
(aka `atftpd').  That is multi-threaded TFTP server which implements all
extensions and multicast: RFC1350, RFC2090, RFC2347, RFC2348, RFC2349.

[RFC]

I would prefer to see in eCos net bag something like `atftp_client.c'
(advanced/alternate) and I would prefer to do not waste those K.I.S.S.
and RFC783 compliant tftp_client.c/tftp_server.c.
