Fair point. This is iperf:
if ( isUDP( mSettings ) ) {
...
delay_target = (int) ( mSettings->mBufLen * ((kSecs_to_usecs *
kBytes_to_Bits)
/ mSettings->mUDPRate) );
I still think UDP is the correct way to test network, making UDP burst (or not
burst) is easy, forcing TCP to behave as you desire is harder.
Quickly looking 'nuttcp 7.2.1' seems to support bursting,
