How to control bit rate/bandwidth in netperf? Equivalent to -b option in iperf?

I am trying to test the throughput of my network using netperf utility and want to send data at different bit rates. There is -b option in iperf to control this but I am looking for same option in netperf.

If you 

./configure netperf

with --enable-intervals or --enable-spin and then build the netperf binary, two additional global command-line options will be enabled:

-w <time>  burst interval - time between bursts of sends etc
-b <count> burst count - number of sends, etc to perform in an interval

with that, you can control the rate at which netperf sends data.
