Exnett is great, it brings the word examine to mind, but you might have
to forever explain the second t.
NetBasher is also a close second, but makes me think the tool is
destructive in some way.
I also like netpert or nexpert, but maybe they're too close to netexpert
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetExpert> or netperf itself.
netpert - network performance test
nexpert - network extensible performance test
Good luck with your decision!
p.s. I keep getting the following stuck in my head as well, netpow and
netpewpew (laser cats reference), but they might be difficult to say
with a straight face :)

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! :)
