Exnett seems to work for me.
I like Ent, but it has some counter-culture references. From urban dictionary ----- "A person who smokes marijuana. The term is named after the fictional tree characters from The Lord of the Rings after someone on Reddit noticed their slow and mellow personalities, similar to that of a stoned person." Not that this is a bad thing, but may get confusing. Actually, one of my favorite internal project names was "DOCSIS Out Of Band Internet Extensions - DOOBIE". That made for some confusing discussions at work (-8)).

Subject: [Bloat] The Great Renaming (of netperf-wrapper): Final contenders
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! :)
-Toke

Two I had in my idea bucket
"Netmasher"
"Netsmash" or netsmasher - abbreviated nsmash

Exnett is great, it brings the word examine to mind, but you might have
to forever explain the second t.
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
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 :)

Thank you to everyone who chimed in on this, both on and off list!
Netperf-wrapper will henceforth be known as "Flent: The Flexible Network
Tester". Expect a release under the new name (along with a proper
announcement, moving of the source code repository, etc) in the coming
weeks! :)
Cheers,
-Toke
