- [tftp] If a callback (which performs the file access in
- the TFTP server) takes too long time (more than the
- double TFTP timeout), the server will abort the
- connection and send an error reply to the client. This
- implies that the server will release resources attached
- to the connection faster than before. The server simply
- assumes that the client has given up.</p>
- <p>
- [tftp] If the TFTP server receives yet another request
- from the same client (same host and port) while it
- already has an active connection to the client, it will
- simply ignore the new request if the request is equal
- with the first one (same filename and options). This
- implies that the (new) client will be served by the
- already ongoing connection on the server side. By not
- setting up yet another connection, in parallel with the
- ongoing one, the server will consumer lesser resources.</p>
- <p>
- [tftp] netascii mode is now supported when the
- client/server has native ascii support (Windows). The new
- optional parameter native_ascii in the tftp_binary and
- tftp_file callback modules can be used to override the
- default behavior.</p>
- <p>
- [tftp] Yet another callback module has been added in
- order to allow customized handling of error, warning and
- info messages. See the new configuration parameter,
- logger.</p>
- <p>
- [tftp] Yet another configuration parameter, max_retries,
- has been added in order to control the number of times a
- packet can be resent. The default is 5.</p>
- <p>
- [tftp] tftp:info/1 and tftp:change_config/2 can now be
- applied to all daemons or all servers in one command
- without bothering about their process identifiers.</p>
