Hi, Recently I have done some performance improvements to my network driver. I am however finding that on some platforms, it's becoming impossible to boot if the network cable has a lot of traffic on it that is not filtered by the NIC itself (broadcast, multicast or directed unicast). It would seem the platform hangs in the DXE phase trying to process (drop) all the packets and not progressing through the boot order.
I am wondering if anyone has seen similar behaviour. Does the network stack have any budgeting? Ideally this would be fixed by the network stack not calling Snp.Start() until in the BDS phase but it seems most platforms just call Snp.Start() immediately following the driver probe. Cheers, Tom _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
