Hi Tushar,

I found "Message Delayed Cycles" histogram information in ruby.stats, I
wonder if the "average" is the latency for each messages. Also, I want to
run some synthetic benchmarks to evaluate my new topology with hammer
protocol in ruby simple network.  I read the wiki page and know that
network tester has some synthetic benchmarks, but is supposed to be used
with the dummy protocol MI_example, so I start with that protocol. However,
in Message Delayed Cycle information part, I find that most messages have 0
delay.  I wonder why. It is also like this when I switch to hammer
protocol. And for two runs with the same maxpackets injected but very
different link latency, the run time is almost the same. I wonder what is
the correct way to use the tester with synthetic benchmarks. If this tester
is not actual or does not work well with hammer, are there any other
recommendation for a few simple benchmarks to run? Thanks.
