+
+* Don't run socket applications or the socket driver for a long time - The IPv4Config
+ and DHCP protocols are not properly running the renew and lease expiration timers.
+ When the DHCP lease expires it is possible for a duplicate IP address to exist on
+ the network. HSD 206136
+
+* Network adapters must be initialized prior to running the socket application - Static
+ and dynamic IP address need to be properly assigned to the network adapters on the
+ system. Note that sockets does not assign the IP addresses since it does not
+ understand how the system is connected to the network!
+
+* The default device must contain the Efi\etc directory populated with files containing
+ the proper network configuration - A template set of files is in StdLib\Efi\etc. Note
+ that the resolv.conf file contains the set of DNS servers.
+
+* Since DHCP is not running when the sockets application is running, the last negotiated
+ packet is no longer available. As a result, any of the options that DHCP did negotiate
+ are no longer available for sockets such as the list of DNS servers.
+
+* DHCP does not request the domain name and domain name server (DNS) addresses. This
+ requires that sockets use configuration files in Efi\etc!
+
+* TCPv4 transfer rate is slow (< 10 Mbits/sec) - This is an unidentified issue.
+
+* Raw socket applications are not able to pass the IP header as part of their
+ payload by using the IP option IP_HDRINCL. This is because the UEFI IPv4 driver
+ (Ip4Dxe) does not support RawData. HSD 206136
+
+* Only version 4 of the UEFI network stack is supported
