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! :)
