Hi

The tftp block size is hardcoded in grub source code to 1024 bytes. I made some 
changes to alter block size via grub environment variable to increase tftp 
download speed.
But I am facing reliability issues with large block sizes that lead to IP 
packet fragmentation, though the download speed does increase proportionately 
with block size.

Downloading kernel Image.gz via linux command fails at times with "timeout 
reading ./Image.gz" error message. Has anybody else tried playing with the tftp 
block size?
What are your observations?

This is on grub master branch. Boot firmware is UEFI on aarch64.

Thanks
Sakar
