Generally speaking, in netperf 2.1, the netperf side sends and the
netserver side receives. That is for any of the _STREAM tests. The _RR
tests will both send and recieve in both netperf and netserver.
Some of this may change in netperf3. For example, the netserver side of
a DNS_RR test in netperf3 will be the one issuing the DNS requests where
it used to be the netperf side in 2.1pl4.
It would help if folks included the actual error messages in their
email. Specifics are often helpful in diagnosis.
happy benchmarking,
