The RFC documents a speedup from 257 seconds down to 35 seconds for a 
180MB file transferred over Gigabit Ethernet.

While that may be impressive for TFTP, it still has some way to go 
before it matches the 1.6s that iPXE will achieve for the same file on 
the same network (by using HTTP instead of TFTP).

I have no plans to implement RFC7440 support.
