I came across this in the iperf documentation:

"Jitter calculations are continuously computed by the server, as
specified by RTP in RFC 1889. The client records a 64 bit
second/microsecond timestamp in the packet. The server computes the
relative transit time as (server's receive time - client's send time).
The client's and server's clocks do not need to be synchronized; any
difference is subtracted out in the jitter calculation. Jitter is the
smoothed mean of differences between consecutive transit times."

http://iperf.fr/#tuningudp

Iperf seems to output jitter measurements on the *server* side when
doing UDP transfers. So incorporating this into netperf-wrapper would
require either some way to notify a server to start up an iperf instance
sending to the client (and finding some way to persuade firewalls/NATs
on the way to let the packets through), or create a server-side wrapper
that monitors the server-side output and sends it to the client on
request via some sort of rpc.

The latter should be pretty straight forward, I suppose. And if I recall
correctly, you did want to measure the upstream jitter?
