Hi,
Thank you for the response,
The use of cbench is well defined in many documentations but I couldn't
find explanation about its given output results,
For example in these lines:

*20:37:19.352 1   switches: flows/sec:  101527   total = 10.137119 per ms *
*20:37:29.458 1   switches: flows/sec:  95083   total = 9.502979 per ms *
*20:37:39.558 1   switches: flows/sec:  111017   total = 11.101199 per ms*

*...RESULT: 1 switches 9 tests min/max/avg/stdev =
547.22/11101.20/8529.18/3085.47 responses/s*

it's giving flow/sec not fmod/sec, and then i find in previous work that
they are plotting "flow/sec" not "responses/sec min/max/avg/..",

So i got lost in understanding how they get those metrics ??

If I am not wrong, and as i understood from Wcbench's plotter code
<https://github.com/dfarrell07/wcbench/blob/master/stats.py>, We only plot
the last line metrics "RESULT:", but they'r min/max..
