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

[Isaac Konikoff]

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 :)

Isaac
