Re: TFTP and UPNP


TFTP is the typical way of downloading firmware images. We use it for our 
product. It's a simple straight forward protocol. There's not much to go 
wrong really. The only downside is that because it's built on UDP you don't 
get all the "free" performance and reliability that TCP has.
Summary: TFTP good. Problems none.

Cheers,
Shaun
