Hi Tom, As I known it is up to platform BDS when to connect network stack, or even not to connect network stack. For example, in fast boot process, network stack will not be connected thus Snp.Start() has no chance to be called. May I know which platforms you see this issue?

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.
