I agree with dropping TFTP from the curl block driver but for the record: TFTP is not good for large files anyway - performance is poor due to the lock-step ACK protocol. It is used for <256 KB files to chainload Network Boot Programs (PXE) so the small file scenario is actually realistic for TFTP. In that use case it doesn't really make sense to use a block device in QEMU though. The guest would do the TFTP itself so I don't see a need to offer the protocol in the curl block driver. Stefan
