Hi everyone, I am Vikas Kundu, a post-grad student of Computer Science in India. I can code in Python, node.js, C and C++ and is aware of networking concepts especially DNS. I wish to work on the UEFI Networking Improvements part. Currently i am in the process of reading the documentation for the same on the tianocore and nbd repos. I wish to look forward for guidance from this community. My github profile is: https://www.github.com/vikas-kundu.

Hi Vikas,

Great to meet you and welcome to the TianoCore project! Glad you hear you are interested! There are some existing tasks listed in the wiki for proposals. Another project which I haven't had a chance to add to the wiki yet is implementing a multi-threaded TCP/IP stack. There are been some work already done on this, that work is currently sitting here: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/MpNetworkStack

I believe Maciej ran into issues with reconciling this work with the current UEFI spec and UNDI driver requirements. Though there is definitely a lot of promise here. From what I remember it increased network performance from 100 Mb/s to 1000 Mb/s. Figuring out what work is required to make this production ready and get it merged into the mainline would be a great improvement.

Let me know if you have any questions!

With Best Regards,
Nate
