I think mig= ht be an opportunity moment to make a little more - move all edk2 network r= elated drivers/libraries into one single package - that what we want to do = for a long time. In current edk2, the network stack components are located mainly in 2 diffe= rent places, the MdeModulePkg and NetworkPkg, due to some historical reason= s. The MdeModulePkg contains most of the IPv4 stack drivers (in MdeModulePk= g/Universal/Network directory), and all the network libraries. The NetworkP= kg contains all the IPv6 stack drivers and also some dual stack drivers (li= ke TcpDxe). The PCDs related to network configuration are also defined in d= ifferent packages: PcdTftpBlockSize is in MdeModulePkg.dec and others are i= n NetworkPkg.dec. There are also drivers in these 2 packages have a same na= me (like UefiPxeBcDxe). We can see these codes are not well organized, so I'd like to take this opp= ortunity to change this situation, to move all network components to Networ= kPkg, which will make the edk2 network stack code easier to use and maintai= n in the future. I have created Bugzilla #1293 for this proposal, and I will send some patch= es for the detail changes. I hope it could be done together with #1278 so t= he platform only need to update their DSC/FDF file for one time. Please let= me know if you have any comments on this, thanks. https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1293 BestRegards Fu Siyuan
