Yes, that's for the same reason that I continue to use inject/httpterm for such purposes : - httpterm uses tee()+splice() to send pre-built pages without copying ; - inject uses recv(MSG_TRUNC) to ack everything without copying. Both of them are really interesting to test the hardware's capabilities and to push components in the middle to their limits without causing too much burden to the end points. I don't know if either netperf or iperf can make use of this now, and I've been used to my tools, but I should take a look again.
