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.

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:

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
