Exnett seems to work for me.

I like Ent, but it has some counter-culture references.  From urban dictionary 
----- "A person who smokes marijuana. The term is named after the fictional 
tree characters from The Lord of the Rings after someone on Reddit noticed 
their slow and mellow personalities, similar to that of a stoned person." Not 
that this is a bad thing, but may get confusing. Actually, one of my favorite 
internal project names was "DOCSIS Out Of Band Internet Extensions - DOOBIE". 
That made for some confusing discussions at work (-8)).

Subject: [Bloat] The Great Renaming (of netperf-wrapper): Final contenders

Hi everyone

The Great Renaming (of netperf-wrapper) has now entered its final phase (i.e., 
I have to make a decision now). There's a couple of contenders for a new name, 
see below. I'd like some feedback on which you prefer. A simple "This one!" is 
fine, but reasoning about why is also appreciated, of course :)

So, without further ado, the contenders are:

- "ENT: The Extensible Network Tester".
  Possible name clash: https://packages.debian.org/sid/ent

- "Exnett: The EXtensible NETwork Tester"
   Avoids the name clash; the second t is important for this.

- "Flent: The Flexible Network Tester"
  'Flent' is also the sound a bufferbloated network makes when subjected
  to testing :)

- "NetBasher"

For the first three, the abbreviation would probably be the everyday name, name 
of the executable, etc, with the expansion added in descriptions where 
appropriate.


Please comment by Thursday, as I have a deadline for something that needs to 
include the name then...

Thanks in advance! :)

-Toke
