Yes, there is no src/nettest_dccp.c and corresponding DCCP_mumble tests.

You are likely the first person to do much of anything "meaningful" with DCCP in 
the omni tests.

Presently, netperf expects to get "errors" only on a UDP send call, so getting 
one while sending DCCP will cause it to abort.  The question becomes how 
"normal" the error it is getting with DCCP happens to be and if then it needs to 
be special cased.

happy benchmarking,
