The PXE boot firmware implementation of the Raspberry Pi 3
has a bug causing it to fail if it receives replies
instantly.
As a workaround ensure there is a minimum delay of one
second if the client is a Pi.
On Linux it looks up the exact receive time of the UDP
packet with the SIOCGSTAMP ioctl to prevent multiple
delays if multiple packets come in around the same time,
or if there already was a delay caused by a ping check.
Just a side question: can't / won't the boot firmware be fixed?
There is a fix.
However that requires sticking a SD card with the newer boot firmware in
the Pi, and leaving it in permanently.
To be able to PXE boot without SD card, the firmware in the ROM of the
SoC has to be used, which is not reflashable, and -at least for the
devices currently out there- comes with this bug.
Yours sincerely,
Floris Bos
