I've done measurements with netperf-wrapper:
 http://netoptimizer.blogspot.dk/2014/09/mini-tutorial-for-netperf-wrapper-setup.html

I have already previously posted my measurements here:
 http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/qdisc/
 http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/qdisc/measure01/
 http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/qdisc/experiment01/

Please, see my previous mail where I described each graph.

The above measurements is for 10Gbit/s, but I've also done measurements
on 1Gbit/s driver igb, and 10Mbit/s by forcing igb to use 10Mbit/s.
Those results I forgot upload (and I cannot upload them right now, as
I'm currently in Switzerland).
