[BusyBox] [PATCH] add multicast client option to tftp.c

[Powers, John]

Package: busybox
Version: 1.00-pre7
Severity: new feature

I am posting the patch again, this time as an attachment. Please find
attached a patch to tftp applet to add multicast client option. The
patch is against busybox-1.00-pre7.

I am a software developer at Texas Instruments working on a project
which needs to embed a multicast tftp client in a handheld device. Last
fall I modified the tftp applet in BusyBox to add support for multicast
get, rfc2090, and the timeout option, rfc2349. In the spirit of open
source sharing, I feel I should return my source updates to the BusyBox
project.

I tested tftp with and without multicast option configured to make sure
it works both ways. Our testers also executed a test plan against the
multicast option which included many different block sizes, file sizes,
timeout lengths, and multiple clients. We used atftp on the server side
of the multicast tests.

Magnus Damm, the tftp applet author, has looked over the patch and given
me his initial impressions and some tips to make the patch easier to
read.

Regards,
John Powers
