The cmdline for this test is:
netperf -t TCP_CRR -c -C -l 300

The actual results are not 100% stable, here is the values of the 5
runs:

$ cat [0-4]/netperf.json
{
"netperf.Throughput_tps": [
12674.061666666668
]
}{
"netperf.Throughput_tps": [
12705.6325
]
}{
"netperf.Throughput_tps": [
12621.97333333333
]
}{
"netperf.Throughput_tps": [
12604.785000000002
]
}{
"netperf.Throughput_tps": [
12664.158333333333
]

I suppose the way the stddev% is calculated by first calculating the
average and then compare the individual value with the average.
Fengguang, is this correct?

Thanks,
Aaron
