They might or might not want to use rumprun. In any case, the procedure for that hasn't yet been documented either, nor is it there a clear understanding how to compile netperf in the way that rumprun requires. And who knows what signals may lurk there ... I think if someone wants to run netperf (or ttcp or whatever) tomorrow instead of next month, doing it your way is the current best hope. > This could take a while, > though (worst case: end of May), because I still have to finish my > Diploma thesis. No sweat. In open source everything takes exactly until the person doing it has time ;) Though, if at all relevant to your thesis, you could consider flipping the whole thing to your advantage: include the document as an appendix for the purpose of making that part of your experimentation repeatable. - antti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.
