TFTP uses a very simple UDP protocol without any windows. Each
received packet is ACKed before the next is sent. So the size of the
buffers makes no difference, so long as it can hold one frame. You are
only likely to get speedup if you are suffering from packet loss. The
retries are quite slow, so the effect of loosing a packet is quite
big. So make sure you have a reliable network.
You might also want to look at using http instead. I don't know how
good the TCP implementation is in redboot, it might support some
windowing so speeding up the transfer.
