[netperf-talk] "pace" the send rate of the UDP_STREAM

Hi everybody,
I am new in netperf. I have started to use it because this other similar 
tool "iperf" was performing very akward, so another source of 
information is always good. Also some people have recomended me "mgen". 
We will see...
Anyway, my problem is that I need for my experiments to set de interval 
between pakets and the size of the pakets and I don't understand the 
manual when it says :
/*<<<
NOTE: * If you would like to "pace" the send rate of the UDP_STREAM 
test, add a -DINTERVALS to the makefile, do a "make clean" and 
re-compile. You can then use the -b and -w global options to set the 
burst size (sends) and wait time (milliseconds) respectively.
 >>>
/Where do I have to add the -DINTERVALS option in the Makefile? I have 
tried in CFLAGS, CPP, CPPFLAGS, DEFS ...
Also I have generated the Makefile from the "configure" script with the 
option --enable-intervals and -enable--spin.
Still, the options -b and -w are not added in the man files, and I get 
the message "Initial request burst functionality not compiled-in!" when 
I try to use them.
Can anybody help me?
Thaks in advance,
Silvia
