The original name was literally 'netperf-wrapper' ;) The original idea was that you'd customise it by writing new test definition files. Of course it has since turned out to be useful to customise things more at runtime, and Flent has grown quite a few features in that direction since. But the original legacy endures, so there are certainly things you can only do by writing test definition files. Anyway, specific feature requests are always welcome! :) -Toke
