Either - netperf will work find just the same.  It is a matter of 
personal preference.

The netperf program communicates with a netserver.  So, if you want to 
run tests _from_ the desktop _to_ the laptop, the laptop needs to be 
running netserver.  If you want to run tests from the laptop to the 
desktop, the desktop runs netserver and the laptop runs netperf.

happy benchmarking,
