If this is not asking for too much, could you please send just one xml
script
that I can use, and the usage for that? I am too old to learn how to do
this
by myself, though I am trying today by googling around :)

Eg, I want to run 8 threads like this:

IO size: 512 bytes
#threads: 8
server: 127.0.0.1
time: 20 secs
Results to include: BW, time, service demand (atleast on the client)

I guess nothing special has to be done on the server side, just running
"netserver" should be enough?

I will be able to run netperf4 on 8 cpu power system using such a script.

Thanks,

- KK
