I have constructed a test where I run an un-paced  UDP_STREAM test in
one guest and a paced omni rr test in another guest at the same time.
Breifly I get the following results from the omni test..

There is a bit of noise in the results as the two netperf invocations
aren't started at exactly the same moment

For reference, my netperf invocations are:
netperf -c -C -t UDP_STREAM -H 172.17.60.216 -l 12
netperf.omni -p 12866 -D -c -C -H 172.17.60.216 -t omni -j -v 2 -- -r 1 -d rr 
-k foo -b 1 -w 200 -m 200

Since the -b and -w are in the test-specific portion, this test was not actually paced. The -w will have been ignored entirely (IIRC) and the -b will have attempted to set the "burst" size of a --enable-burst ./configured netperf. If netperf was ./configured that way, it will have had two rr transactions in flight at one time - the "regular" one and then the one additional from the -b option. If netperf was not ./configured with --enable-burst then a warning message should have been emitted.

Also, I am guessing you wanted TCP_NODELAY set, and that is -D but not a global -D. I'm reasonably confident the -m 200 will have been ignored, but it would be best to drop it. So, I think your second line needs to be:

netperf.omni -p 12866 -c -C -H 172.17.60.216 -t omni -j -v 2 -b 1 -w 200 -- -r 1 -d rr -k foo -D

If you want the request and response sizes to be 200 bytes, use -r 200 (test-specific).

Also, if you ./configure with --enable-omni first, that netserver will understand both omni and non-omni tests at the same time and you don't have to have a second netserver on a different control port. You can also go-in to config.h after the ./configure and unset WANT_MIGRATION and then UDP_STREAM in netperf will be the "true" classic UDP_STREAM code rather than the migrated to omni path.

foo contains
PROTOCOL
THROUGHPUT,THROUGHPUT_UNITS
LOCAL_SEND_THROUGHPUT
LOCAL_RECV_THROUGHPUT
REMOTE_SEND_THROUGHPUT
REMOTE_RECV_THROUGHPUT
RT_LATENCY,MIN_LATENCY,MEAN_LATENCY,MAX_LATENCY
P50_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,STDDEV_LATENCY
LOCAL_CPU_UTIL,REMOTE_CPU_UTIL

As the -k file parsing option didn't care until recently (within the hour or so), I think it didn't matter that you had more than four lines (assuming that is a verbatim cat of foo). However, if you pull the *current* top of trunk, it will probably start to care - I'm in the midst of adding support for "direct output selection" in the -k, -o and -O options and also cleaning-up the omni printing code to the point where there is only the one routing parsing the output selection file. Currently that is the one for "human" output, which has a four line restriction. I will try to make it smarter as I go.

happy benchmarking,
