Say a client gets the an single address in the response. Now what  
protocol does it use? Does it just randomly try protocols seeing if  
one will work? It seems like it needs to say use TFTP. Or say  
something like try HTTP then TFTP or something. Just providing a  
random address does not seem like it will result in any  
interoperability. Particularly in the case where phones from more than  
one vendor want to work on the same network with same DHCP server.

I also think it is important to mention the limitations of TFTP. The  
ping time from my home across the VPN to the the tftp server my phone  
reaches is around 120 ms. TFTP is a stop an wait protocol without  
overlapping transactions of 512 payload bytes. So if I want to  
download a 20 meg firmware image for my phone, it takes a few hours  
regardless of what my bandwidth is. Note my crappy DSL connection with  
the same VPN would download that same image over HTTP in well under a  
minute.
