Very nice find! Hmm, we quite recently added the ability to set UDP packet size (in 00eda5b44f1d), and I guess this is similar.

So maybe a global switch that sets -m for netperf, and also sets the default UDP send size (overridable by the test parameter)? And maybe make --send-size also allow comma-separated values for per-flow setting?

Well, we don't have any tests that have both UDP and TCP flows, so for
now that won't be an issue. It may be if we add some, I suppose, but
there's always the test parameter to override the UDP size? We can also
just make it TCP-only, though...

No worries, I can add that while merging :)

Yeah, netperf auto-tuning would be better, of course. But guess we can't
have it all...

Sure, go right ahead!
