> Would it be possible to use sendfile in tftpd? Nope, since as someone else has pointed out, tftp uses UDP and not TCP. The problem with TFTP is the protocol, not the implementation. It's got a window size of 'one', so the speed is limited by the latency between the two hosts. You could have a 1Terrabit pipe, and if it's latency was the same as a 9600 baud modem, your transfer speed would be the same as a modem.
