There are lots of options for network booting in UEFI.
PXE
iSCSI
HTTP (New in UEFI 2.5)
You can produce an EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL and boot how every you want.
The only thing missing in UEFI is a standard way to boot from a hardcoded TFTP
address and file. This is generally not a useful generic thing, it is more of a
developer thing. So it is usually just implemented as a shell command. Or it is
the boot loader that gets returned by the PXE server.
This library can download a file from a TFTP remote using the PXE Protocols.
The same way an OS loader can use UEFI services to load more info.
