title: UEFI networking edk2 simple example
body: <p>I am looking for the simplest/easiest way to implement some sort of networking communication using edk2 in a UEFI application. I do not care what type of protocol is being used, but it shall not be UDP.</p>
  <p>I have read similar questions, tried a bit on my own but failed, and my problems are;
  -A good test environment(Using a VM currently, running UEFI 2.5, not sure if sufficient/is a good way)
  -What protocols/solutions are good?</p>
  <p>What I need to accomplish is;</p>
  <ol>
  <li>uefi application loads, sends a packet containing &quot;Hello&quot; to Server(IP can be known, no need to resolve IP from url)</li>
  <li>Server sends &quot;Hello&quot; to the Client, and the UEFI application will print the reply. It is very simple, but this has been overwhelming and the information out there is limited from what I have seen.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>All help/insight/information is appriciated.</p>
