I believe there is a patch for NetPerf which supports RDS - although it may need to be updated - and submitted.

The only prior discussion I can think of - was whether or not NetPerf exercises RDS as Oracle would.

I'm not proposing that we should enhance NetPerf to do that (but that's OK with me).

We created a tool rds-stress which does that.

WRT to merging RDS into the kernel - our current plans are to wait to see RDS adopted by more than Oracle - before approaching the kernel community about inclusion of RDS.

I've seen statements before from someone from Oracle that RDS was only
for Oracle's use, for example, that person did not want netperf changed
to support RDS.
