Ian,

I also cleaned up my patch set to
 * completely remove UDP-Lite from all other patches
 * shift UDP-Lite to the end (as fourth patch)
 * I have shamelessly stolen your `continuous' patch and integrated as patch #3
 * result (patches 1..3) compiles without error or problems on a brandnew 
   installation of linux (with unmodified kernel headers)
 * I haven't had time to look through your code, but I think we should put
   out one combined client for testing purposes.

I am not fussy who's it is we are using - the code is after all yours. I just
polished it a bit up and made sure that the -b switch also works for DCCP.

And I have found it quite a useful switch for testing, indeed.

Quoting Ian McDonald:
|  OK. I've hacked my iperf version around a bit to get closer to Gerrit's.
|  
|  What I've done:
|  - ported more of his code over
|  -- renaming/shifting code
|  -- fix service code handling to allow network byte order and correct name
|  -- merged using -b option for DCCP (NB gives an error at end but seems
|  to be working OK)
|  
|  Our code still differs a bit e.g. I don't support UDP Lite yet.
|  
|  So if you want unlimited run time and -b together then you want my
|  tree, otherwise Gerrit's is probably better. I'm sure Gerrit can port
|  my unlimited run time easily to his tree if he wants.
