Do you have any comment on this.

Hello Maciej:

Do we have any plan to use the RNG Library function in the Macro "NET_RANDOM" of NetworkPkg.

NET_RANDOM can use GetRandomNumber32() which is more reliable right?

Thanks
Siva

Hi Siva,

I am not proactively trying to change that.
NET_RANDOM is used throughout the network stack and touching it would 
require solid regression.
Is there any defect requiring such a change?

Thanks,
Maciej

Hello Maciej:

We haven't met any issue with the current implementation.

RNG Library functions are using Process Based Random Number generation.

Some OEM's asking about the plan for the same support in NetworkPkg.

Siva,

OEMs are very welcome to submit a patch for that.

Thanks,
