Hi Anthony, 

I for one have not tried netperf, so not sure why it’s not working. Assuming it 
is directly using epoll/select, i.e., no libevent/ev  it should work unless it 
uses a weird threading model. So, it might be worth investigating why it’s 
crashing. 

Do you need both server and client to use vpp. If not, maybe try nginx + vpp 
and run wrk/ab or any other tool on the client side. 

Another option would be to extend our home grown vcl test apps to measure 
latency. See the vcl client and server apps here [1]. 

Regards,
Florin
