X-BeenThere: cerowrt-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.13 Precedence: list List-Id: Development issues regarding the cerowrt test router project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 23:02:03 -0000 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 --=20 Dave T=C3=A4ht Let's make wifi fast, less jittery and reliable again! https://plus.google.com/u/0/107942175615993706558/posts/TVX3o84jjmb
