uperf - A network benchmark tool

[apologies if you received duplicates]

Folks, we just opensourced (under GPL v3) a network benchmarking
tool called uperf at http://www.uperf.org. I encourage you to
check it out.

uperf (just like filebench) takes a description of the networking
component of workloads and replays it. Using a "model" allows you
to change different parameters (like scale, protocol, etc..) and
analyze performance. I hope you find it useful.

Uperf is work in progress and we are adding more functionality. If
you would like to contribute, please feel free so; we can use all
the help.
thanks,
-neel

I really appreciate that you opensourced it under GPLv3, although it's
from SUN, (I don't like the so-as CDDL),

and I have downloaded it from its sourceforge page:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/uperf/uperf-1.0-src.tar.bz2

The problem is:
1. the tarball has many garbage such as uperf/CVS/, uperf/doc/CVS/,
could you clear them before releasing?
2. A better tarball includes files starting with <pkgname>-<pkgver>/...;

Thanks; I have removed the CVS directories from the src tarball.
