+- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
+               CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
+
+               If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
+               is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
+               If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
+               number generator is used.
+
+               Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
+               the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
+               defined, the normal port 69 is used.
+
+               The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
+               blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
+               target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
+               "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
+               the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
+               A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
+               but sometimes that is not allowed.
