because main.go doesn't use go-ipfs in Godeps. Instead, it uses the one from go get.

I know youre looking at metrics (ipfs/kubo#1418) but I just figured i'd file and issue here to discuss what numbers we want to see at the end of a bitswap test.

I have a couple numbers built into the 'stat' command, such as total blocks received and the number of duplicate blocks received (duplicate blocks is arguably the most important metric right now). But also important is mean time from block request to block receipt, and overall bandwidth across varying network conditions. Also nice to know would be bandwidth overhead, how much extra data are we sending on top of the actual file being requested.

the config values (n, vv, etc) should probably be full words-- that way they're obvious to people when looking at examples.
