+[I] Netperf measures the performance of many different types of networking.
+
+[T] Netperf is a benchmark that can be used to measure the performance of many
+[T] different types of networking including Unix Domain Sockets and TCP and 
+[T] UDP via BSD Sockets. It provides tests for both unidirectional throughput
+[T] and end-to-end latency.
