Could you test UDP_STREAM as well ?

$ netperf -H 192.168.0.1 -l 10 -t UDP_STREAM
UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
Socket  Message  Elapsed      Messages                
Size    Size     Time         Okay Errors   Throughput
bytes   bytes    secs            #      #   10^6bits/sec

1000000   65507   10.00       13398      0     702.12
110592           10.00       13398            702.12

Then, a pktgen test (this sends UDP frames, but from kernel land) might
give you the limit of the NIC...
