If you foresee many simultaneous TFTP connections, then give your server much CPU power and much memory. Beware for network switches being bottle necks. Oh, if you just want to known who is the record holder of simultaneous TFTP connections, then ask so. Ask also for his/her set-up. And surely take time to communicate. Hope this Helps Geert Stappers

This might not be the default configuration on all distros that provide a "tftp-hpa" package. Furthermore serving "large files" (Windows/Bart PE images) generates significantly more load than serving "small files" (linux kernels, initrd images) in addition to the bootloader, e. g. pxelinux.
