Netperf is a serious networking performance evaluation tool being
distributed under GPL by HP's Information Networks Division.
Testing is done using a pair of programs: `netserver' (the server) and 
`netperf' (the measurement tool).

Netperf allows control over a large number of test `variables'.
Some of these are:
        * specification of desired confidence levels for the tests
          Netperf will warn the user if these levels were not achieved.
        * filling send buffers with specified data (to beat compression schemes)
        * specification of send/recieve buffer alignments and data offsets
        * requesting cpu utilization and service demand calculations
        * specification of sizes of data to send
Netperf can be used for measuring stream performance as well as
round-trip performance.

     SCTP=On (default) "Enable SCTP support"
     EXS=On (default) "Enable ICSC async socket support"
     HISTOGRAM=On (default) "Enable optional histogram output"

1) Add OPTIONS support for:
- SOCKETS - Unix domain socket support and tests
- SCTP - Stream Control Transmission Protocol support and tests
- EXS - ICSC async socket support
- HISTOGRAM - Optional histogram output
- OMNI - Enable OMNI tests

2) Patch to $WRKSRC/configure which fixes CPU measurement and ROUTE
lookup routines in netperf, which result in this output:
-------------
checking which CPU utilization measurement type to use... "none.
Consider teaching configure about your platform."
checking which route lookup type to use... "none. Consider teaching
configure about your platform."
--------------

Make UDP_STREAM work on IPv6 by transmitting and extracting IPv6
addresses correctly.  Otherwise bind(2) calls will fail, etc.

Upgrade to 2.2pl3.

Fix typo in patch-makefile.  IPv6 was not enabled.

Upgrade to 2.2pl2.  Almost of IPv6 patch was merged but netperf still
barks with -DDO_1644.

I'll take over this port.    

Add NOPORTDOCS support    

Upgrade to latest IPv6 patch. fix the error with -DDO1644.    

Add a MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR to unbreak fetching.   The checksum had also changed,
but it seems only the tarball was rerolled -   a comparison against an 'old'
archive from ftp.freebsd.org showed no   differences in content.
