loadbearer 0.2.0 adds Network as a fourth first-class graded component, plus
an optional real-link test between two machines.

  • Network is now a first-class graded component. Four loopback subtests over
    127.0.0.1 measuring the machine's network stack, not any physical link:
    single-stream and all-core TCP throughput, TCP request/response round-trip
    latency, and UDP small-packet send rate. No packets leave the machine; it
    needs no network access and no target.
  • loadbearer run --net-target HOST:PORT optionally probes a real link (TCP
    upload, round-trip, UDP send rate) to a loadbearer net-server running on
    another machine. Reported in its own block and in the result JSON's link
    field — it measures the path, not either host, so it is deliberately not
    graded
    .
  • loadbearer net-server [--bind ADDR] runs the server side of that link test.
  • Scoring profiles gained a network weight: server now favours it (1.4),
    content-creation de-emphasises it (0.5).
  • reference-v1 baseline gained [components.network] anchors.
