NetBasher is also a close second, but makes me think the tool is destructive in some way.

I also like netpert or nexpert, but maybe they're too close to netexpert or netperf itself.

netpert - network performance test

nexpert - network extensible performance test

Good luck with your decision!

p.s. I keep getting the following stuck in my head as well, netpow and netpewpew (laser cats reference), but they might be difficult to say with a straight face :)

Hi everyone

The Great Renaming (of netperf-wrapper) has now entered its final phase
(i.e., I have to make a decision now). There's a couple of contenders
for a new name, see below. I'd like some feedback on which you prefer. A
simple "This one!" is fine, but reasoning about why is also appreciated,
of course :)

So, without further ado, the contenders are:

- "ENT: The Extensible Network Tester".
  Possible name clash: https://packages.debian.org/sid/ent

- "Exnett: The EXtensible NETwork Tester"
   Avoids the name clash; the second t is important for this.

- "Flent: The Flexible Network Tester"
  'Flent' is also the sound a bufferbloated network makes when subjected
  to testing :)

- "NetBasher"

For the first three, the abbreviation would probably be the everyday
name, name of the executable, etc, with the expansion added in
descriptions where appropriate.


Please comment by Thursday, as I have a deadline for something that
needs to include the name then...

Thanks in advance! :)
