BTW, I tried :

lpaa6:~# ./netperf -t UDP_STREAM  -H 127.0.0.1 -- -s 1280 -S 1280 -m
1024 -M 1024
MIGRATED UDP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to
127.0.0.1 () port 0 AF_INET

  4608    1024   10.00     4499400      0    3685.88
  2560           10.00     4498670           3685.28

So it looks like it is working.

However I have no doubt there might be a corner case for tiny
SO_RCVBUF values or for some message sizes.
