Netperf-2.4.4

-p /ppaspec/ set the local and/or remote DLPI PPA(s).

How should we select values of PPA-local and PPA-remote for option -p?
Can file dlpi.h help here?

Is there any connection between values in option -D and option -p.

Thanks,
Alex Vinokur

It has been a very long time since I've run the DLPI tests (I presume 
you feel a need for link-level tests on HP-UX or perhaps Solaris?) but I

think you will need the -D and -p options.  I cannot recall if there is 
a default for -s or -w/-W
