  * [[soc:2010:cooldavid:journal:week8|Week 8]]:
    * Several TCP fixes
  * [[soc:2010:cooldavid:journal:week9|Week 9]]:
    * TCP cleanup
    * Trace gPXE boot initialize steps about memory environment setup.
  * [[soc:2010:cooldavid:journal:week10|Week 10]]:
    * Create a branch to merge latest iPXE TCP related commits based on gPXE master.
    * Re-do my previous TCP patches against merged branch.
    * Post the patches on the gpxe-devel and wait for feedback.
  * [[soc:2010:cooldavid:journal:week11|Week 11]]:
    * Testing TCP performance with different window size, network environment.
    * Port wscale branch against current gPXE master
  * [[soc:2010:cooldavid:journal:week12|Week 12]]:
    * Port wscale branch against current gPXE master
    * Continue testing TCP performance with different window size, network environment.
    * Trace the issue that gPXE download speed slow on KVM.
  * Maybe after GSoC period
    * Discuss the testing results and find a reasonable size.
    * gPXE scheduling and program flow documentation.
    * Possible more devel-docs.

  * TODO
    * Gillies: 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller [11ab:4363], after the "ifopen net0" I have the prompt back and it crashes (Keyboad is blocked, no message). If I am fast enough, I can type 2 or 3 letters on the new prompt before it's blocked.
    * meteger: there are a few PCI IDs in the current tg3 that work fine when you do a tftp or HTTP transfer but fail miserably for iscsi, for some reason. but that driver was ported to etherboot in 2003, and it took 7 years for someone to request that specific PCI ID.
