Hello Tias,

Even if it's slightly out of subject, regarding TFTP and latency issues, I
have submitted an RFE for that :

PRODRFE100893 : Support of connection oriented protocol to achieve unified
upgrade

Other than that, I use single-command upgrade via tftp but my server is
close.

Best regards.

During my last upgrade round to 5.6.0c, my chassis' that were multiple 10s of ms away were failing during single-command upgrade. Timing out on the biggest file. BTAC was involved but couldn't solve it. Out of impatience I ended up shipping out a flash card to upgrade each locally and that went smoothly.

I was able to simply copy the upgraded firmware onto the flashcard while of course preserving the directory structure. I think the flash cards are MS-DOS formatted, but was able to copy them over on my Mac with a cheap usb to flash multi-adapter dongle.
