Which mechanism to address skew error? The netperf manual describes
more than one:
This mechanism is missed in my test, I would add them to my test scripts.

Personally, my preference these days is to use the "demo mode" method
of aggregate results as it can be rather faster than (ab)using the
confidence intervals mechanism, which I suspect may not really scale
all that well to large numbers of concurrent netperfs.
During my test, the confidence interval would even hard to achieved in
RR test when I pin vhost/vcpus in the processors, so I didn't use it.
When running aggregate netperfs, *something* has to be done to address
the prospect of skew error. Otherwise the results are suspect.
happy benchmarking,
