You saw problems with TCP_RR where as this is UDP_STREAM.
I'm running this through MMTests with a version of the
configs/config-global-dhp__network-performance file that only runs
netperf-udp. Ultimately it runs netperf for a size something like
this
SIZE=64
taskset -c 0 netserver
taskset -c 1 netperf -t UDP_STREAM -i 50,6 -I 99,1 -l 20 -H 127.0.0.1 -- -P 15895 -s 32768 -S 32768 -m $SIZE -M $SIZE
