Currently 083 waits for the nbd-fault-injector.py server to start up by looping until netstat shows the TCP listen socket.
The startup protocol can be simplified by passing a 0 port number to nbd-fault-injector.py. The kernel will allocate a port in bind(2) and the final port number can be printed by nbd-fault-injector.py. This should make it slightly nicer and less TCP-specific to wait for server startup. This patch changes nbd-fault-injector.py, the next one will rewrite server startup in 083.
