Rory Winston commented on NET-181:
----------------------------------
Is that all that needs to be done (making the block number wrap using % 2^16-1)?
Or is there more that needs to be done here?
> tftp client limited to ~32 MB file sizes

> Key: NET-181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-181
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Dan Armbrust
> Priority: Minor
>
> I just noticed that the TFTPClient class does not support a block wraparound
> - hence, when the block number exceeds the max allowed by the rfc (65535) -
> about a 32 mb file - bad things will happen.
> I can't find any rfc that specifies how the wraparound is supposed to occur,
> but this wiki page mentions it:
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivial_File_Transfer_Protocol
> And I am working on implementing a TFTPServer - and in my tests with the tftp
> client that is shipped with fedora, I have determined that that tftp client
> expects the next block number after 65535 to be 0.
> So it appears that the TFTPClient should wrap its block number so that it
> properly supports larger files.
