Pointers to programtatic detection of AppArmour and a couple salient details about firewall (enabled, perhaps number of rules) from any quarter would be welcome.

Plot thickening, seems that autotest knows about some version of netperf2 already... i'll be trying to see if there is some benefit to autotest to netperf2's top of trunk having the keyval output format, and if autotest groks paired systems to more easily do over a network testing.

successful benchmarking,
if not necessarily happy :)
