The following issues exist with the EFI Socket Library:
|
||||
|
||||
* Don't run socket applications or the socket driver for a long time - The IPv4Config
|
||||
and DHCP protocols are not properly running the renew and lease expiration timers.
|
||||
When the DHCP lease expires it is possible for a duplicate IP address to exist on
|
||||
the network. HSD 206136
|
||||
|
||||
* Network adapters must be initialized prior to running the socket application - Static
|
||||
and dynamic IP address need to be properly assigned to the network adapters on the
|
||||
system. Note that sockets does not assign the IP addresses since it does not
|
||||
understand how the system is connected to the network!
|
||||
|
||||
* The default device must contain the Efi\etc directory populated with files containing
|
||||
the proper network configuration - A template set of files is in StdLib\Efi\etc. Note
|
||||
that the resolv.conf file contains the set of DNS servers.
|
||||
|
||||
* Since DHCP is not running when the sockets application is running, the last negotiated
|
||||
packet is no longer available. As a result, any of the options that DHCP did negotiate
|
||||
are no longer available for sockets such as the list of DNS servers.
|
||||
|
||||
* DHCP does not request the domain name and domain name server (DNS) addresses. This
|
||||
requires that sockets use configuration files in Efi\etc!
|
||||
|
||||
* TCPv4 transfer rate is slow (< 10 Mbits/sec) - This is an unidentified issue.
|
||||
|
||||
* Raw socket applications are not able to pass the IP header as part of their
|
||||
payload by using the IP option IP_HDRINCL. This is because the UEFI IPv4 driver
|
||||
(Ip4Dxe) does not support RawData. HSD 206136
|
||||
|
||||
* Only version 4 of the UEFI network stack is supported
