2 This file defines the EFI IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4)
3 Protocol interface. It is split into the following three main
4 sections:
5 - EFI IPv4 Service Binding Protocol
6 - EFI IPv4 Variable
7 - EFI IPv4 Protocol.
8 The EFI IPv4 Protocol provides basic network IPv4 packet I/O services,
9 which includes support foR a subset of the Internet Control Message
10 Protocol (ICMP) and may include support for the Internet Group Management
11 Protocol (IGMP).
