Netperf4's harness would be better suited to this. Whether that means it 
is actually suited or not I cannot say.  Netperf4 is more or less "out 
there" now albeit bleeding edge, but I find that usage by others helps 
free up my otherwise non-copious free cycles for working on netperf4 :)

happy benchmarking,
