Just a thought, the Linux/BSD community might hugely benefit if someone with your deep knowledge released a set of perf test scripts that anyone can run locally to regression test network perf. That way, the OSS community can integrate those perf test scripts into their commit/regression test pipeline.
For the Netflix boxes, they're pushing 40gbps+, not a lot of the community is going to be to be able to test that, unless they have fairly expensive networks laying around.
BTW, 40Gb/s was so 2015. I have a box serving at 156Gb/s :)
That's right, I wanted to put 100+, but I wasn't totally sure. I stopped counting when you got way beyond the 20G connectivity on the servers I manage.
