It may be worse than that even. PXE provides native UDP support in the BIOS and pxeboot uses that. I do think there is a way to send and receive raw packets rather than UDP, but now you are talking about implementing not just TCP, but IP, arp, etc. If you booted a kernel with an mfsroot that used an init program that talked to an HTTP server that might be a different matter. -- John Baldwin
