At the moment, not much.  For the past three weeks I've been working on 
a hot project from my employer that has been eating up most of my 
so-called "free" time.  I'm expecting to finish work on or about next 
Friday.  Once that's done I'm back on netperf so we can start abusing 
the stack.

I'm thinking that nmap might also be another good stress-testing tool.  
I think nmap would be a good tool because of some of the "strange 
packets," for lack of a better description, that it uses in its port 
scans.  Things like x-mas tree, SYN, yadda yadda yadda.

If you've got some cycles I've checked the netperf sources into the 
tree.  See if you can a) get them to build and run, and b) integrate 
into the OBOS build, write a Jamfile.

I'd ask Ingo to write the Jamfile but Axel said that this would be a 
bad idea.  :-)
