Subject: [Bloat] marketing #102 - giving netperf-wrapper a better name?
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 16:01:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAA93jw523E4iF9HNir+QdsMF1twKPM8HhXTjXPdY7NmQKL3g_A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
as netperf-wrapper has grown to include far more tests than netperf,
with quite a few more on their way, calling it this is increasingly
less appropriate:
A noted cynic wrote me privately last month, about netperf-wrapper:
'why don't you rename the friggin thing "bufferbloat" or
"bloattest" or something? Netperf-wrapper is a terrible name,
seemingly still whatever the programmer called it when he wrote the
first sketchy version, one step up from "foo"'
Hmm... we need a name with more foo, for sure, a better, more
descriptive name. Anyone got any ideas? Maybe run a contest somewhere?
One (technical) hope would be to find a good file extension for the
output, so it could be more easily parsed by browsers... but to heck
with that... a better name?
Toke had some ideas also:
- NQT - http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/NQT - I especially like
"Not Quite There". nqt.org points to this: http://dyslexiafoundation.org/nqt/
- NetQual - http://www.qoesystems.com/NETQUAL.html
- NQ-tester - doesn't seem to be taken by anything obvious
