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...
