============
Here is a small test showing me how long it takes in seconds to transfer files of different sizes, to compare FTP, TFTP, and HTTP performance...
Code:
#!ipxe
echo ===============================================================================
time imgfetch tftp://${next-server}/diag/test/1MB && imgfree && set tftp 1 ||
time imgfetch http://${next-server}/diag/test/1MB && imgfree && set http 1 ||
time imgfetch ftp://serva:serva@${next-server}:21/diag/test/1MB && imgfree && set ftp 1 ||
#echo ===============================================================================
#isset $(tftp) && time imgfetch tftp://${next-server}/diag/test/5MB && imgfree ||
#isset $(hftp) && time imgfetch http://${next-server}/diag/test/5MB && imgfree ||
#isset $(ftp) && time imgfetch ftp://serva:serva@${next-server}/diag/test/5MB && imgfree ||
echo ===============================================================================
isset $(tftp) && time imgfetch tftp://${next-server}/diag/test/10MB && imgfree ||
isset $(hftp) && time imgfetch http://${next-server}/diag/test/10MB && imgfree ||
isset $(ftp) && time imgfetch ftp://serva:serva@${next-server}/diag/test/10MB && imgfree ||
#echo ===============================================================================

#isset $(hftp) && time imgfetch http://${next-server}/diag/test/20MB && imgfree ||
#isset $(ftp) && time imgfetch ftp://serva:serva@${next-server}/diag/test/20MB && imgfree ||
#echo ===============================================================================
#isset $(tftp) && time imgfetch tftp://${next-server}/diag/test/50MB && imgfree ||
#isset $(hftp) && time imgfetch http://${next-server}/diag/test/50MB && imgfree ||
#isset $(ftp) && time imgfetch ftp://serva:serva@${next-server}/diag/test/50MB && imgfree ||
echo ===============================================================================
isset $(tftp) && time imgfetch tftp://${next-server}/diag/test/100MB && imgfree ||
isset $(hftp) && time imgfetch http://${next-server}/diag/test/100MB && imgfree ||
isset $(ftp) && time imgfetch ftp://serva:serva@${next-server}/diag/test/100MB && imgfree ||
echo ===============================================================================
prompt Press a key to continue...

Before
menu command i made a small menu that would be called, allowing me to load either PXElinux 3.86 or PXElinux 4.04 with the same menu, so it is easy to carry out tests...
Might be useful for people using older versions of iPxe
Code:
:menu
echo iPXE menu
echo =========
echo 1) Show_all_variables.ipxe
echo 2) Speed_test.ipxe
echo ===============================================
echo 3) iPXE -> Vesamenu.c32 [no pxelinux, exit when runnin script]
echo 4) TFTP Chainload PXElinux 3.86 [Com32]
echo 5) TFTP Chainload PXElinux 4.04 [Com32R]
echo
echo 6) iSCSI Boot iso (int 0x13 or iSCSI driver managed)
echo 7) http sanbooot (Currently fails with)
echo 8) memdisk http load
echo
echo 9) Reboot (if compiled in kernel)
echo 0) Exit to iPXE shell prompt
echo
echo -n Please select the option:
read key
goto option_${key} || goto menu # loop back if empty or wrong
#iseq option_${key} option_ && goto menu || #loop back if empty choice only
echo "goto" support not implemented option for key "${key}" doesn't exist
prompt Press a key to continue...

Here is the iSCSI code i wrote when using
starwind software iSCSI solution...
I thought it could help somebody doing the same...
Code:
#!ipxe
dhcp
goto host_${hostname} || goto unknown
:host_thinclient1
sanboot iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:winxp
:host_thinclient2
sanboot iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:win7
:unknown
echo Unknown host ${hostname}
#!ipxe
#to enable when embedded, use cache set to 1 if kkpxe, not for kpxe due to dropped pxe stack
#set use-cached 0
