30. Network Protocols — UDP and MTFTP¶

30.1. EFI UDP Protocol¶

This chapter defines the EFI UDP (User Datagram Protocol) Protocol that interfaces over the EFI IP Protocol, and the EFI MTFTP Protocol interface that is built upon the EFI UDP Protocol. Protocols for version 4 and version 6 of UDP and MTFTP are included.

30.1.1. UDP4 Service Binding Protocol¶

30.1.1.1. EFI_UDP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL¶

Summary

The EFI UDPv4 Service Binding Protocol is used to locate communication devices that are supported by an EFI UDPv4 Protocol driver and to create and destroy instances of the EFI UDPv4 Protocol child protocol driver that can use the underlying communications device.

GUID

#define EFI_UDP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL_GUID \
  {0x83f01464,0x99bd,0x45e5,\
    {0xb3,0x83,0xaf,0x63,0x05,0xd8,0xe9,0xe6}}

Description

A network application that requires basic UDPv4 I/O services can use one of the protocol handler services, such as BS->LocateHandleBuffer(), to search for devices that publish a EFI UDPv4 Service Binding Protocol GUID. Each device with a published EFI UDPv4 Service Binding Protocol GUID supports the EFI UDPv4 Protocol and may be available for use.

After a successful call to the EFI_UDP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL .CreateChild() function, the newly created child EFI UDPv4 Protocol driver is in an unconfigured state; it is not ready to send and receive data packets.

Before a network application terminates execution every successful call to the EFI_UDP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL .CreateChild() function must be matched with a call to the EFI_UDP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.DestroyChild() function.

30.1.2. UDP4 Protocol¶

30.1.2.1. EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL¶

Summary

The EFI UDPv4 Protocol provides simple packet-oriented services to transmit and receive UDP packets.

Groups: Joins and leaves multicast groups. See the Groups() function description.
Routes: Add and deletes routing table entries. See the Routes() function description.
Transmit: Queues outgoing data packets into the transmit queue. This function is a nonblocked operation. See the Transmit() function description.
Receive: Places a receiving request token into the receiving queue. This function is a nonblocked operation. See the Receive() function description.
Cancel: Aborts a pending transmit or receive request. See the Cancel() function description.
Poll: Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets. See the Poll() function description.

Description

The EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL defines an EFI UDPv4 Protocol session that can be used by any network drivers, applications, or daemons to transmit or receive UDP packets. This protocol instance can either be bound to a specified port as a service or connected to some remote peer as an active client. Each instance has its own settings, such as the routing table and group table, which are independent from each other.

NOTE: In this document, all IPv4 addresses and incoming/outgoing packets are stored in network byte order. All other parameters in the functions and data structures that are defined in this document are stored in host byte order.

UseDefaultAddress: Set to TRUE to use the default IP address and default routing table. If the default IP address is not available yet, then the underlying EFI IPv4 Protocol driver will use EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL to retrieve the IP address and subnet information. Ignored for incoming filtering if AcceptPromiscuous is set to TRUE.
StationAddress: The station IP address that will be assigned to this EFI UDPv4 Protocol instance. The EFI UDPv4 and EFI IPv4 Protocol drivers will only deliver incoming packets whose destination matches this IP address exactly.

(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP4_CONFIGURE) (
  IN EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL         *This,
  IN EFI_UDP4_CONFIG_DATA      *UdpConfigData OPTIONAL
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL instance.

Description

The Configure() function is used to do the following:

Initialize and start this instance of the EFI UDPv4 Protocol.
Change the filtering rules and operational parameters.
Reset this instance of the EFI UDPv4 Protocol.

Until these parameters are initialized, no network traffic can be sent or received by this instance. This instance can be also reset by calling Configure() with UdpConfigData set to NULL. Once reset, the receiving queue and transmitting queue are flushed and no traffic is allowed through this instance.

With different parameters in UdpConfigData, Configure() can be used to bind this instance to specified port.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The configuration settings were set, changed, or reset successfully.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using a default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more following conditions are TRUE : • This is NULL. • UdpConfigData.StationAddress is not a valid unicast IPv4 address. • UdpConfigData.SubnetMask is not a valid IPv4 address mask. The subnet mask must be contiguous. • UdpConfigData.RemoteAddress is not a valid unicast IPv4 address if it is not zero.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED	The EFI UDPv4 Protocol instance is already started/configured and must be stopped/reset before it can be reconfigured. Only TypeOfService, TimeToLive, DoNotFragment, ReceiveTimeout, and TransmitTimeout can be reconfigured without stopping the current instance of the EFI UDPv4 Protocol.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	UdpConfigData. AllowDuplicatePort is FALSE and UdpConfigData.StationPort is already used by other instance.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The EFI UDPv4 Protocol driver cannot allocate memory for this EFI UDPv4 Protocol instance.

  IN EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL       *This,
  IN BOOLEAN                 JoinFlag,
  IN EFI_IPv4_ADDRESS        *MulticastAddress OPTIONAL
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL instance.
JoinFlag: Set to TRUE to join a multicast group. Set to FALSE to leave one or all multicast groups.
MulticastAddress: Pointer to multicast group address to join or leave.

Description

The Groups() function is used to enable and disable the multicast group filtering.

If the JoinFlag is FALSE and the MulticastAddress is NULL, then all currently joined groups are left.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The operation completed successfully.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	The EFI UDPv4 Protocol instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using a default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	Could not allocate resources to join the group.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: • This is NULL. • JoinFlag is TRUE and MulticastAddress is NULL. • JoinFlag is TRUE and *MulticastAddress is not a valid multicast address.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED	The group address is already in the group table (when JoinFlag is TRUE).
EFI_NOT_FOUND	The group address is not in the group table (when JoinFlag is FALSE).
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected system or network error occurred.

30.1.2.5. EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL.Routes()¶

Summary

Adds and deletes routing table entries.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP4_ROUTES) (
  IN EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL       *This,
  IN BOOLEAN                 DeleteRoute,
  IN EFI_IPv4_ADDRESS        *SubnetAddress,
  IN EFI_IPv4_ADDRESS        *SubnetMask,
  IN EFI_IPv4_ADDRESS        *GatewayAddress
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL instance.
DeleteRoute: Set to TRUE to delete this route from the routing table. Set to FALSE to add this route to the routing table. DestinationAddress and SubnetMask are used as the key to each route entry.
SubnetAddress: The destination network address that needs to be routed.
SubnetMask: The subnet mask of SubnetAddress.
GatewayAddress: The gateway IP address for this route.

Description

The Routes() function adds a route to or deletes a route from the routing table.

Routes are determined by comparing the SubnetAddress with the destination IP address and arithmetically AND -ing it with the SubnetMask. The gateway address must be on the same subnet as the configured station address.

The default route is added with SubnetAddress and SubnetMask both set to 0.0.0.0. The default route matches all destination IP addresses that do not match any other routes.

A zero GatewayAddress is a nonroute. Packets are sent to the destination IP address if it can be found in the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache or on the local subnet. One automatic nonroute entry will be inserted into the routing table for outgoing packets that are addressed to a local subnet (gateway address of 0.0.0.0).

Each instance of the EFI UDPv4 Protocol has its own independent routing table. Instances of the EFI UDPv4 Protocol that use the default IP address will also have copies of the routing table provided by the EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_PROTOCOL. These copies will be updated automatically whenever the IP driver reconfigures its instances; as a result, the previous modification to these copies will be lost.

NOTE: There is no way to set up routes to other network interface cards (NICs) because each NIC has its own independent network stack that shares information only through EFI UDP4 Variable.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The operation completed successfully.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	The EFI UDPv4 Protocol instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using a default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of the following conditions is TRUE : • This is NULL. • SubnetAddress is NULL. • SubnetMask is NULL. • GatewayAddress is NULL. • SubnetAddress is not a valid subnet address. • SubnetMask is not a valid subnet mask. • GatewayAddress is not a valid unicast IP address.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	Could not add the entry to the routing table.
EFI_NOT_FOUND	This route is not in the routing table.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	The route is already defined in the routing table.

30.1.2.6. EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL.Transmit()¶

Summary

Queues outgoing data packets into the transmit queue.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP4_TRANSMIT) (
  IN EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL               *This,
  IN EFI_UDP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN       *Token
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to the completion token that will be placed into the transmit queue. Type EFI_UDP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN is defined in “Related Definitions” below.

Description

The Transmit() function places a sending request to this instance of the EFI UDPv4 Protocol, alongside the transmit data that was filled by the user. Whenever the packet in the token is sent out or some errors occur, the Token.Event will be signaled and Token.Status is updated. Providing a proper notification function and context for the event will enable the user to receive the notification and transmitting status.

    EFI_UDP4_TRANSMIT_DATA   *TxData;
  }            Packet;
}  EFI_UDP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN;

Event: This Event will be signaled after the Status field is updated by the EFI UDPv4 Protocol driver. The type of Event must be EVT_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The Task Priority Level (TPL) of Event must be lower than or equal to TPL_CALLBACK .
Status: Will be set to one of the following values:

EFI_SUCCESS. The receive or transmit operation completed successfully.

EFI_ABORTED. The receive or transmit was aborted.

EFI_TIMEOUT. The transmit timeout expired.

EFI_NETWORK_UNREACHABLE. The destination network is unreachable. RxData is set to NULL in this situation.

EFI_HOST_UNREACHABLE. The destination host is unreachable. RxData is set to NULL in this situation.

EFI_PROTOCOL_UNREACHABLE. The UDP protocol is unsupported in the remote system. RxData is set to NULL in this situation.

EFI_PORT_UNREACHABLE. No service is listening on the remote port. RxData is set to NULL in this situation.

EFI_ICMP_ERROR. Some other Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) error report was received. For example, packets are being sent too fast for the destination to receive them and the destination sent an ICMP source quench report. RxData is set to NULL in this situation.

EFI_DEVICE_ERROR. An unexpected system or network error occurred.

EFI_NO_MEDIA. There was a media error.
RxData: When this token is used for receiving, RxData is a pointer to EFI_UDP4_RECEIVE_DATA. Type EFI_UDP4_RECEIVE_DATA is defined below.
TxData: When this token is used for transmitting, TxData is a pointer to EFI_UDP4_TRANSMIT_DATA. Type EFI_UDP4_TRANSMIT_DATA is defined below.

The EFI_UDP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN structures are used for both transmit and receive operations.

When used for transmitting, the Event and TxData fields must be filled in by the EFI UDPv4 Protocol client. After the transmit operation completes, the Status field is updated by the EFI UDPv4 Protocol and the Event is signaled.

When used for receiving, only the Event field must be filled in by the EFI UDPv4 Protocol client. After a packet is received, RxData and Status are filled in by the EFI UDPv4 Protocol and the Event is signaled.
The ICMP related status codes filled in Status are defined as follows:

EFI_UDP4_RECEIVE_DATA is filled by the EFI UDPv4 Protocol driver when this EFI UDPv4 Protocol instance receives an incoming packet. If there is a waiting token for incoming packets, the CompletionToken.Packet.RxData field is updated to this incoming packet and the CompletionToken.Event is signaled. The EFI UDPv4 Protocol client must signal the RecycleSignal after processing the packet.

FragmentTable could contain multiple buffers that are not in the continuous memory locations. The EFI UDPv4 Protocol client might need to combine two or more buffers in FragmentTable to form their own protocol header.

30.1.2.7. EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL.Receive()¶

Summary

Places an asynchronous receive request into the receiving queue.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP4_RECEIVE) (
  IN EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL             *This,
  IN EFI_UDP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN     *Token
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to a token that is associated with the receive data descriptor. Type EFI_UDP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN is defined in EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL .Transmit().

Description

The Receive() function places a completion token into the receive packet queue. This function is always asynchronous.

The caller must fill in the Token.Event field in the completion token, and this field cannot be NULL. When the receive operation completes, the EFI UDPv4 Protocol driver updates the Token.Status and Token.Packet.RxData fields and the Token.Event is signaled. Providing a proper notification function and context for the event will enable the user to receive the notification and receiving status. That notification function is guaranteed to not be re-entered.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The receive completion token was cached.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	This EFI UDPv4 Protocol instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using a default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: • This is NULL. • Token is NULL. • Token.Event is NULL.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The receive completion token could not be queued due to a lack of system resources (usually memory).
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected system or network error occurred. The EFI UDPv4 Protocol instance has been reset to startup defaults.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	A receive completion token with the same Token.Event was already in the receive queue.
EFI_NOT_READY	The receive request could not be queued because the receive queue is full.
EFI_NO_MEDIA	There was a media error.

30.1.2.8. EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL.Cancel()¶

Summary

Aborts an asynchronous transmit or receive request.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP4_CANCEL)(
  IN EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL           *This,
  IN EFI_UDP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN   *Token OPTIONAL
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to a token that has been issued by EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL .Transmit() or EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL.Receive().If NULL, all pending tokens are aborted. Type EFI_UDP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN is defined in EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL.Transmit().

Description

The Cancel() function is used to abort a pending transmit or receive request. If the token is in the transmit or receive request queues, after calling this function, Token.Status will be set to EFI_ABORTED and then Token.Event will be signaled. If the token is not in one of the queues, which usually means that the asynchronous operation has completed, this function will not signal the token and EFI_NOT_FOUND is returned.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The asynchronous I/O request was aborted and Token.Event was signaled. When Token is NULL, all pending requests are aborted and their events are signaled.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	This is NULL.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	This instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_NOT_FOUND	When Token is not NULL, the asynchronous I/O request was not found in the transmit or receive queue. It has either completed or was not issued by Transmit() and Receive().

30.1.2.9. EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL.Poll()¶

Summary

Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP4_POLL) (
  IN EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL     *This
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP4_PROTOCOL instance.

Description

The Poll() function can be used by network drivers and applications to increase the rate that data packets are moved between the communications device and the transmit and receive queues.

In some systems, the periodic timer event in the managed network driver may not poll the underlying communications device fast enough to transmit and/or receive all data packets without missing incoming packets or dropping outgoing packets. Drivers and applications that are experiencing packet loss should try calling the Poll() function more often.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	Incoming or outgoing data was processed.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	This is NULL.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected system or network error occurred.
EFI_TIMEOUT	Data was dropped out of the transmit and/or receive queue. Consider increasing the polling rate.

30.2. EFI UDPv6 Protocol¶

This section defines the EFI UDPv6 (User Datagram Protocol version 6) Protocol that interfaces over the EFI IPv6 Protocol.

30.2.1. UDP6 Service Binding Protocol¶

30.2.1.1. EFI_UDP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL¶

Summary

The EFI UDPv6 Service Binding Protocol is used to locate communication devices that are supported by an EFI UDPv6 Protocol driver and to create and destroy instances of the EFI UDPv6 Protocol child instance that uses the underlying communications device.

GUID

#define EFI_UDP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL_GUID \
   {0x66ed4721, 0x3c98, 0x4d3e,\
 {0x81, 0xe3, 0xd0, 0x3d, 0xd3, 0x9a, 0x72, 0x54}}

Descriptopn

A network application that requires basic UDPv6 I/O services can use one of the protocol handler services, such as BS->LocateHandleBuffer(), to search for devices that publish a EFI UDPv6 Service Binding Protocol GUID. Each device with a published EFI UDPv6 Service Binding Protocol GUID supports the EFI UDPv6 Protocol and may be available for use.

After a successful call to the EFI_UDP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.CreateChild() function, the newly created child EFI UDPv6 Protocol driver is in an un-configured state; it is not ready to send and receive data packets.

Before a network application terminates execution, every successful call to the EFI_UDP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.CreateChild() function must be matched with a call to the EFI_UDP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.DestroyChild() function.

30.2.2. EFI UDP6 Protocol¶

ReceiveTimeout: The receive timeout value (number of microseconds) to be associated with each incoming packet. Zero means do not drop incoming packets.
TransmitTimeout: The transmit timeout value (number of microseconds) to be associated with each outgoing packet. Zero means do not drop outgoing packets.
StationAddress: The station IP address that will be assigned to this EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance. The EFI UDPv6 and EFI IPv6 Protocol drivers will only deliver incoming packets whose destination matches this IP address exactly. Address 0:/128 is also accepted as a special case. Under this situation, underlying IPv6 driver is responsible for binding a source address to this EFI IPv6 protocol instance according to source address selection algorithm. Only incoming packet from the selected source address is delivered. This field can be set and changed only when the EFI IPv6 driver is transitioning from the stopped to the started states. If no address is available for selecting, the EFI IPv6 Protocol driver will use EFI_IP6_CONFIG_PROTOCOL to retrieve the IPv6 address.
StationPort: The port number to which this EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance is bound. If a client of the EFI UDPv6 Protocol does not care about the port number, set StationPort to zero. The EFI UDPv6 Protocol driver will assign a random port number to transmitted UDP packets. Ignored it if AcceptAnyPort is TRUE.
RemoteAddress: The IP address of remote host to which this EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance is connecting. If RemoteAddress is not 0:/128, this EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance will be connected to RemoteAddress; i.e., outgoing packets of this EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance will be sent to this address by default and only incoming packets from this address will be delivered to client. Ignored for incoming filtering if AcceptPromiscuous is TRUE.
RemotePort: The port number of the remote host to which this EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance is connecting. If it is not zero, outgoing packets of this EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance will be sent to this port number by default and only incoming packets from this port will be delivered to client.

30.2.2.6. EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL.Receive()¶

Summary

Places an asynchronous receive request into the receiving queue.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP6_RECEIVE) (
  IN EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL           *This,
  IN EFI_UDP6_COMPLETION_TOKEN   *Token*
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to a token that is associated with the receive data descriptor. Type EFI_UDP6_COMPLETION_TOKEN is defined in EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL.Transmit().

Description

The Receive() function places a completion token into the receive packet queue. This function is always asynchronous.

The caller must fill in the Token.Event field in the completion token, and this field cannot be NULL. When the receive operation completes, the EFI UDPv6 Protocol driver updates the Token.Status and Token.Packet.RxData fields and the Token.Event is signaled. Providing a proper notification function and context for the event will enable the user to receive the notification and receiving status. That notification function is guaranteed to not be re-entered.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The receive completion token was cached.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	This EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	The underlying IPv6 driver was responsible for choosing a source address for this instance, but no source address was available for use.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: This is NULL. Token is NULL. Token.Event is NULL.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	The receive completion token could not be queued due to a lack of system resources (usually memory).
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected system or network error occurred. The EFI UDPv6 Protocol instance has been reset to startup defaults.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	A receive completion token with the same Token.Event was already in the receive queue.
EFI_NOT_READY	The receive request could not be queued because the receive queue is full.
EFI_NO_MEDIA	There was a media error.

30.2.2.7. EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL.Cancel()¶

Summary

Aborts an asynchronous transmit or receive request.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP6_CANCEL)(
  IN EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL           *This,
  IN EFI_UDP6_COMPLETION_TOKEN   *Token OPTIONAL
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to a token that has been issued by EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL.Transmit() or EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL.Receive() .If NULL, all pending tokens are aborted. Type EFI_UDP6_COMPLETION_TOKEN is defined in EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL.Transmit().

Description

The Cancel() function is used to abort a pending transmit or receive request. If the token is in the transmit or receive request queues, after calling this function, Token.Status will be set to EFI_ABORTED and then Token.Event will be signaled. If the token is not in one of the queues, which usually means that the asynchronous operation has completed, this function will not signal the token and EFI_NOT_FOUND is returned.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The asynchronous I/O request was aborted and Token.Event was signaled. When Token is NULL, all pending requests are aborted and their events are signaled.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	This is NULL.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	This instance has not been started.
EFI_NOT_FOUND	When Token is not NULL, the asynchronous I/O request was not found in the transmit or receive queue. It has either completed or was not issued by Transmit() and Receive().

30.2.2.8. EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL.Poll()¶

Summary

Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_UDP6_POLL) (
  IN EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL     *This
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_UDP6_PROTOCOL instance.

Description

The Poll() function can be used by network drivers and applications to increase the rate that data packets are moved between the communications device and the transmit and receive queues.

In some systems, the periodic timer event in the managed network driver may not poll the underlying communications device fast enough to transmit and/or receive all data packets without missing incoming packets or dropping outgoing packets. Drivers and applications that are experiencing packet loss should try calling the Poll() function more often.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	Incoming or outgoing data was processed.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	This is NULL.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected system or network error occurred.
EFI_TIMEOUT	Data was dropped out of the transmit and/or receive queue. Consider increasing the polling rate.

30.3. EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol¶

The following sections defines the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol interface that is built upon the EFI UDPv4 Protocol.

30.3.1. EFI_MTFTP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL¶

Summary

The EFI MTFTPv4 Service Binding Protocol is used to locate communication devices that are supported by an EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver and to create and destroy instances of the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol child protocol driver that can use the underlying communications device.

GUID

#define EFI_MTFTP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL_GUID \
  {0x2e800be,0x8f01,0x4aa6,\
    {0x94,0x6b,0xd7,0x13,0x88,0xe1,0x83,0x3f}}

Description

A network application or driver that requires MTFTPv4 I/O services can use one of the protocol handler services, such as BS->LocateHandleBuffer(), to search for devices that publish an EFI MTFTPv4 Service Binding Protocol GUID. Each device with a published EFI MTFTPv4 Service Binding Protocol GUID supports the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol service and may be available for use.

After a successful call to the EFI_MTFTP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.CreateChild() function, the newly created child EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver instance is in an unconfigured state; it is not ready to transfer data.

Before a network application terminates execution, every successful call to the EFI_MTFTP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.CreateChild() function must be matched with a call to the EFI_MTFTP4_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.DestroyChild() function.

Each instance of the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver can support one file transfer operation at a time. To download two files at the same time, two instances of the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver will need to be created.

30.3.2. EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL¶

Summary

The EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol provides basic services for client-side unicast and/or multicast TFTP operations.

  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL instance.
MtftpConfigData: Pointer to the configuration data structure. Type EFI_MTFTP4_CONFIG_DATA is defined in EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL .GetModeData().

Description

The Configure() function is used to set and change the configuration data for this EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver instance. The configuration data can be reset to startup defaults by calling Configure() with MtftpConfigData set to NULL. Whenever the instance is reset, any pending operation is aborted. By changing the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver instance configuration data, the client can connect to different MTFTPv4 servers. The configuration parameters in MtftpConfigData are used as the default parameters in later MTFTPv4 operations and can be overridden in later operations.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver was configured successfully.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more following conditions are TRUE: • This is NULL. • MtftpConfigData.UseDefaultSetting is FALSE and MtftpConfigData.StationIp is not a valid IPv4 unicast address. • MtftpCofigData.UseDefaultSetting is FALSE and MtftpConfigData.SubnetMask is invalid. • MtftpCofigData.ServerIp is not a valid IPv4 unicast address. • MtftpConfigData.UseDefaultSetting is FALSE and MtftpConfigData.GatewayIp is not a valid IPv4 unicast address or is not in the same subnet with station address.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	The EFI configuration could not be changed at this time because there is one MTFTP background operation in progress.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using a default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) has not finished yet.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	A configuration protocol (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) could not be located when clients choose to use the default address settings.

  OUT UINT32                   *OptionCount,
  OUT EFI_MTFT4P_OPTION        **OptionList OPTIONAL
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL instance.
PacketLen: Length of the OACK packet to be parsed.
Packet: Pointer to the OACK packet to be parsed. Type EFI_MTFTP4_PACKET is defined in EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL .GetInfo().
OptionCount: Pointer to the number of options in following OptionList.
OptionList: Pointer to EFI_MTFTP4_OPTION storage. Call the EFI Boot Service FreePool() to release the OptionList if the options in this OptionList are not needed any more. Type EFI_MTFTP4_OPTION is defined in EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL .GetInfo().

Description

The ParseOptions() function parses the option fields in an MTFTPv4 OACK packet and returns the number of options that were found and optionally a list of pointers to the options in the packet.

If one or more of the option fields are not valid, then EFI_PROTOCOL_ERROR is returned and **OptionCount* and **OptionList* stop at the last valid option.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The OACK packet was valid and the OptionCount and OptionList parameters have been updated.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: • PacketLen is 0. • Packet is NULL or Packet is not a valid MTFTPv4 packet. • OptionCount is NULL.
EFI_NOT_FOUND	No options were found in the OACK packet.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	Storage for the OptionList array cannot be allocated.
EFI_PROTOCOL_ERROR	One or more of the option fields is invalid.

30.3.7. EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL.ReadFile()¶

Summary

Downloads a file from an MTFTPv4 server.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_MTFTP4_READ_FILE)(
  IN EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL       *This,
  IN EFI_MTFTP4_TOKEN          *Token
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to the token structure to provide the parameters that are used in this operation. Type EFI_MTFTP4_TOKEN is defined in “Related Definitions” below.

Description

The ReadFile() function is used to initialize and start an MTFTPv4 download process and optionally wait for completion. When the download operation completes, whether successfully or not, the Token.Status field is updated by the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver and then Token.Event is signaled (if it is not NULL).

Data can be downloaded from the MTFTPv4 server into either of the following locations:

A fixed buffer that is pointed to by Token.Buffer
A download service function that is pointed to by Token.CheckPacket

If both Token.Buffer and Token.CheckPacket are used, then Token.CheckPacket will be called first. If the call is successful, the packet will be stored in Token.Buffer.

BufferSize: On input, the size, in bytes, of Buffer. On output, the number of bytes transferred
Buffer: Pointer to the data buffer. Data that is downloaded from the MTFTPv4 server is stored here. Data that is uploaded to the MTFTPv4 server is read from here. Ignored if BufferSize is zero.
Context: Pointer to the context that will be used by CheckPacket, TimeoutCallback and PacketNeeded.
CheckPacket: Pointer to the callback function to check the contents of the received packet. Type EFI_MTFTP4_CHECK_PACKET is defined below.
TimeoutCallback: Pointer to the function to be called when a timeout occurs. Type EFI_MTFTP4_TIMEOUT_CALLBACK is defined below.
PacketNeeded: Pointer to the function to provide the needed packet contents. Only used in WriteFile() operation. Type EFI_MTFTP4_PACKET_NEEDED is defined below.

The EFI_MTFTP4_TOKEN structure is used for both the MTFTPv4 reading and writing operations. The caller uses this structure to pass parameters and indicate the operation context. After the reading or writing operation completes, the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver updates the Status parameter and the Event is signaled if it is not NULL. The following table lists the status codes that are returned in the Status parameter.

30.3.8. EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL.WriteFile()¶

Summary

Sends a data file to an MTFTPv4 server. May be unsupported in some EFI implementations.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_MTFTP4_WRITE_FILE)(
  IN EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL       *This,
  IN EFI_MTFTP4_TOKEN          *Token
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to the token structure to provide the parameters that are used in this function. Type EFI_MTFTP4_TOKEN is defined in EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL .ReadFile().

Description

The WriteFile() function is used to initialize an uploading operation with the given option list and optionally wait for completion. If one or more of the options is not supported by the server, the unsupported options are ignored and a standard TFTP process starts instead. When the upload process completes, whether successfully or not, Token.Event is signaled, and the EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver updates Token.Status.

The caller can supply the data to be uploaded in the following two modes:

Through the user-provided buffer
Through a callback function

With the user-provided buffer, the Token.BufferSize field indicates the length of the buffer, and the driver will upload the data in the buffer. With an EFI_MTFTP4_PACKET_NEEDED callback function, the driver will call this callback function to get more data from the user to upload. See the definition of EFI_MTFTP4_PACKET_NEEDED for more information. These two modes cannot be used at the same time. The callback function will be ignored if the user provides the buffer.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The upload session has started.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	The operation is not supported by this implementation.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: • This is NULL. • Token is NULL. • Token.Filename is NULL. • Token.OptionCount is not zero and Token.OptionList is NULL. • One or more options in Token.OptionList have wrong format. • Token.Buffer and Token.PacketNeeded are both NULL. • One or more IPv4 addresses in Token.OverrideData are not valid unicast IPv4 addresses if Token.OverrideData is not NULL and the addresses are not set to all zero.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	• One or more options in the Token.OptionList are in the unsupported list of structure EFI_MTFTP4_MODE_DATA.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	The EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using a default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED	This Token is already being used in another MTFTPv4 session.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	Required system resources could not be allocated.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	The previous operation has not completed yet.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected network error or system error occurred.
EFI_NO_MEDIA	There was a media error.

30.3.9. EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL.ReadDirectory()¶

Summary

Downloads a data file “directory” from an MTFTPv4 server. May be unsupported in some EFI implementations.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_MTFTP4_READ_DIRECTORY)(
  IN EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL       *This,
  IN EFI_MTFTP4_TOKEN          *Token
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to the token structure to provide the parameters that are used in this function. Type EFI_MTFTP4_TOKEN is defined in EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL .ReadFile().

Description

The ReadDirectory() function is used to return a list of files on the MTFTPv4 server that are logically (or operationally) related to Token.Filename. The directory request packet that is sent to the server is built with the option list that was provided by caller, if present.

The file information that the server returns is put into either of the following locations:

A fixed buffer that is pointed to by Token.Buffer
A download service function that is pointed to by Token.CheckPacket

If both Token.Buffer and Token.CheckPacket are used, then Token.CheckPacket will be called first. If the call is successful, the packet will be stored in Token.Buffer.

The returned directory listing in the Token.Buffer or EFI_MTFTP4_PACKET consists of a list of two or three variable-length ASCII strings, each terminated by a null character, for each file in the directory. If the multicast option is involved, the first field of each directory entry is the static multicast IP address and UDP port number that is associated with the file name. The format of the field is ip:ip:ip:ip:port. If the multicast option is not involved, this field and its terminating null character are not present.

The next field of each directory entry is the file name and the last field is the file information string. The information string contains the file size and the create/modify timestamp. The format of the information string is filesize yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss:ffff. The timestamp is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC; also known as Greenwich Mean Time [GMT]).

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The MTFTPv4 related file “directory” has been downloaded.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	The EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver does not support this function.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of these conditions is TRUE: • This is NULL. • Token is NULL. • Token.Filename is NULL. • Token.OptionCount is not zero and Token.OptionList is NULL. • One or more options in Token.OptionList have wrong format. Token.Buffer and Token.CheckPacket are both *NULL. • One or more IPv4 addresses in Token.OverrideData are not valid unicast IPv4 addresses if Token.OverrideData is not NULL and the addresses are not set to all zero.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	One or more options in the Token.OptionList are in the unsupported list of structure EFI_MTFTP4_MODE_DATA.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	The EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol driver has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using a default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED	This Token is already being used in another MTFTPv4 session.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	Required system resources could not be allocated.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	The previous operation has not completed yet.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected network error or system error occurred.
EFI_NO_MEDIA	There was a media error.

30.3.10. EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL.POLL()¶

Summary

Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_MTFTP4_POLL) (
  IN EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL     *This
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP4_PROTOCOL instance.

Description

The Poll() function can be used by network drivers and applications to increase the rate that data packets are moved between the communications device and the transmit and receive queues.

In some systems, the periodic timer event in the managed network driver may not poll the underlying communications device fast enough to transmit and/or receive all data packets without missing incoming packets or dropping outgoing packets. Drivers and applications that are experiencing packet loss should try calling the Poll() function more often.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	Incoming or outgoing data was processed.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	This EFI MTFTPv4 Protocol instance has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	When using a default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) is not finished yet.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	This is NULL.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected system or network error occurred.
EFI_TIMEOUT	Data was dropped out of the transmit and/or receive queue. Consider increasing the polling rate.

30.4. EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol¶

This section defines the EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol interface that is built upon the EFI UDPv6 Protocol.

30.4.1. MTFTP6 Service Binding Protocol¶

30.4.1.1. EFI_MTFTP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL¶

Summary

The EFI MTFTPv6 Service Binding Protocol is used to locate communication devices that are supported by an EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver and to create and destroy instances of the EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol child instance that can use the underlying communications device.

GUID

#define EFI_MTFTP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL_GUID \
  {0xd9760ff3,0x3cca,0x4267,\
    {0x80,0xf9,0x75,0x27,0xfa,0xfa,0x42,0x23}}

Description

A network application or driver that requires MTFTPv6 I/O services can use one of the protocol handler services, such as BS->LocateHandleBuffer(), to search for devices that publish an EFI MTFTPv6 Service Binding Protocol GUID. Each device with a published EFI MTFTPv6 Service Binding Protocol GUID supports the EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol service and may be available for use.

After a successful call to the EFI_MTFTP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.CreateChild() function, the newly created child EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver instance is in the un-configured state; it is not ready to transfer data.

Before a network application terminates execution, every successful call to the EFI_MTFTP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.CreateChild() function must be matched with a call to the EFI_MTFTP6_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL.DestroyChild() function.

Each instance of the EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver can support one file transfer operation at a time. To download two files at the same time, two instances of the EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver need to be created.

30.4.2. MTFTP6 Protocol¶

30.4.2.1. EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL¶

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to the token structure to provide the parameters that are used in this operation. Type EFI_MTFTP6_TOKEN is defined in “Related Definitions” below.

Description

The ReadFile() function is used to initialize and start an MTFTPv6 download process and optionally wait for completion. When the download operation completes, whether successfully or not, the Token.Status field is updated by the EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver and then Token.Event is signaled if it is not NULL.

Data can be downloaded from the MTFTPv6 server into either of the following locations:

A fixed buffer that is pointed to by Token.Buffer
A download service function that is pointed to by Token.CheckPacket

If both Token.Buffer and Token.CheckPacket are used, then Token.CheckPacket will be called first. If the call is successful, the packet will be stored in Token.Buffer.

EFI_MTFTP6_CHECK_PACKET is a callback function that is provided by the caller to intercept the EFI_MTFTP6_OPCODE_DATA or

EFI_MTFTP6_OPCODE_DATA8 packets processed in the

EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.ReadFile() function, and alternatively to intercept

EFI_MTFTP6_OPCODE_OACK or EFI_MTFTP6_OPCODE_ERROR packets during a call to

EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.ReadFile(), WriteFile() or ReadDirectory(). Whenever an MTFTPv6 packet with the type described above is received from a server, the EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver will call

EFI_MTFTP6_CHECK_PACKET function to let the caller have an opportunity to process this packet. Any status code other than EFI_SUCCESS that is returned from this function will abort the transfer process.

EFI_MTFTP6_PACKET_NEEDED is a callback function that the caller provides to feed data to the EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.WriteFile() function. EFI_MTFTP6_PACKET_NEEDED provides another mechanism for the caller to provide data to upload other than a static buffer. The EFI MTFTP6 Protocol driver always calls EFI_MTFTP6_PACKET_NEEDED to get packet data from the caller if no static buffer was given in the initial call to EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.WriteFile() function. Setting **Length* to zero signals the end of the session. Returning a status code other than EFI_SUCCESS aborts the session.

30.4.2.7. EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.WriteFile()¶

Summary

Send a file to an MTFTPv6 server. May be unsupported in some implementations.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_MTFTP6_WRITE_FILE)(
  IN EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL       *This,
  IN EFI_MTFTP6_TOKEN          *Token
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to the token structure to provide the parameters that are used in this function. Type EFI_MTFTP6_TOKEN is defined in EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.ReadFile().

Description

The WriteFile() function is used to initialize an uploading operation with the given option list and optionally wait for completion. If one or more of the options is not supported by the server, the unsupported options are ignored and a standard TFTP process starts instead. When the upload process completes, whether successfully or not, Token.Event is signaled, and the EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver updates Token.Status.

The caller can supply the data to be uploaded in the following two modes:

Through the user-provided buffer
Through a callback function

With the user-provided buffer, the Token.BufferSize field indicates the length of the buffer, and the driver will upload the data in the buffer. With an EFI_MTFTP6_PACKET_NEEDED callback function, the driver will call this callback function to get more data from the user to upload. See the definition of EFI_MTFTP6_PACKET_NEEDED for more information. These two modes cannot be used at the same time. The callback function will be ignored if the user provides the buffer.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The upload session has started.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	The operation is not supported by this implementation.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of the following conditions is TRUE: • This is NULL. • Token is NULL. • Token.Filename is NULL. • Token.OptionCount is not zero and Token.OptionList is NULL. • One or more options in Token.OptionList have wrong format. • Token.Buffer and Token.PacketNeeded are both NULL. • Token.OverrideData.ServerIp is not a valid unicast IPv6 address and not set to all zero.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	One or more options in the Token.OptionList are not supported by this implementation.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	The EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	The underlying IPv6 driver was responsible for choosing a source address for this instance, but no source address was available for use.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED	This Token is already being used in another MTFTPv6 session.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	Required system resources could not be allocated.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	The previous operation has not completed yet.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected network error or system error occurred.
EFI_NO_MEDIA	There was a media error.

30.4.2.8. EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.ReadDirectory()¶

Summary

Download a data file directory from an MTFTPv6 server. May be unsupported in some implementations.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_MTFTP6_READ_DIRECTORY)(
  IN EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL           *This,
  IN EFI_MTFTP6_TOKEN              *Token
);

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL instance.
Token: Pointer to the token structure to provide the parameters that are used in this function. Type EFI_MTFTP6_TOKEN is defined in EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.ReadFile().

Description

The ReadDirectory() function is used to return a list of files on the MTFTPv6 server that are logically (or operationally) related to Token.Filename. The directory request packet that is sent to the server is built with the option list that was provided by caller, if present.

The file information that the server returns is put into either of the following locations:

A fixed buffer that is pointed to by Token.Buffer
A download service function that is pointed to by Token.CheckPacket

If both Token.Buffer and Token.CheckPacket are used, then Token.CheckPacket will be called first. If the call is successful, the packet will be stored in Token.Buffer.

The returned directory listing in the Token.Buffer or EFI_MTFTP6_PACKET consists of a list of two or three variable-length ASCII strings, each terminated by a null character, for each file in the directory. If the multicast option is involved, the first field of each directory entry is the static multicast IP address and UDP port number that is associated with the file name. The format of the field is ip:ip:ip:ip:port. If the multicast option is not involved, this field and its terminating null character are not present.

The next field of each directory entry is the file name and the last field is the file information string. The information string contains the file size and the create/modify timestamp. The format of the information string is filesize yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss:ffff. The timestamp is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC; also known as Greenwich Mean Time [GMT]).

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	The MTFTPv6 related file “directory” has been downloaded.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	The EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver does not support this function.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	One or more of these conditions is TRUE: • This is NULL. • Token is NULL. • Token.Filename is NULL. • Token.OptionCount is not zero and Token.OptionList is NULL. • One or more options in Token.OptionList have wrong format. • Token.Buffer and Token.CheckPacket are both NULL. • Token.OverrideData.ServerIp is not a valid unicast IPv6 address and not set to all zero.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED	One or more options in the Token.OptionList are not supported by this implementation.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	The EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol driver has not been started.
EFI_NO_MAPPING	The underlying IPv6 driver was responsible for choosing a source address for this instance, but no source address was available for use.
EFI_ALREADY_STARTED	This Token is already being used in another MTFTPv6 session.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	Required system resources could not be allocated.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED	The previous operation has not completed yet.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected network error or system error occurred.

30.4.2.9. EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL.Poll()¶

Summary

Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets.

Prototype

typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_MTFTP6_POLL) (
  IN EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL   *This
  );

Parameters

This: Pointer to the EFI_MTFTP6_PROTOCOL instance.

Description

The Poll() function can be used by network drivers and applications to increase the rate that data packets are moved between the communications device and the transmit and receive queues.

In some systems, the periodic timer event in the managed network driver may not poll the underlying communications device fast enough to transmit and/or receive all data packets without missing incoming packets or dropping outgoing packets. Drivers and applications that are experiencing packet loss should try calling the Poll() function more often.

Status Codes Returned

EFI_SUCCESS	Incoming or outgoing data was processed.
EFI_NOT_STARTED	This EFI MTFTPv6 Protocol instance has not been started.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	This is NULL.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR	An unexpected system or network error occurred.
EFI_TIMEOUT	Data was dropped out of the transmit and/or receive queue. Consider increasing the polling rate.
