Abstract: Systems and Methods for Negotiated Accelerated Block Option for Trivial File Transfer Protocol are provided. In one embodiment, a method for implementing a negotiated accelerated Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) file transfers, the method comprising: transmitting a TFTP request packet for accelerated transfer from a requesting device to a serving device; receiving a response from the serving device; determining whether to initiate an accelerated transfer by evaluating the response packet from the serving device; and when evaluating the response packet indicates that the serving device accepts acceleration, initiating an accelerated TFTP file transfer using a negotiated block acceleration value, wherein the negotiated block acceleration value is negotiated by the client device and the Accelerated TFTP Server Engine based on one or both of hardware constraint factors and transmission statistics.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multiple computer dataloading using a standard dataloader are provided. In one embodiment, a method for simultaneously uploading duplicate data to a plurality of computers comprises: performing a handshake message exchange with a dataloader to determine a MAC address for a target node; conducting a data transfer between the dataloader and the target node by forwarding a file transfer protocol message having the MAC address for the target node from the dataloader to the target node; forwarding the file transfer protocol message to at least one node other than the target node, wherein the at least one node and the target node both consume the file transfer protocol message; and selectively suppressing one or more response messages generated by the at least one node from reaching the dataloader.
