[netperf-talk] netperf only tests sending, not receiving packets?

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

Using netperf requires a couple of steps:

1) starting netserver on HOST_A
2) starting netperf on HOST_B, pointing it to HOST_A.

This will test sending packets from HOST_B to HOST_A.

To test other direction of sending packets, it is necessary to repeat 
the same procedure, but with hosts changed.

Now, wouldn't it make sense if a single netperf command (pointed at some 
netserver) could test:
- sending
- receiving
- sending and receiving at the same time?


Something like:

HOST_A# netserver


HOST_B# netperf --send -f M -H 10.1.1.1

HOST_B# netperf --receive -f M -H 10.1.1.1

HOST_B# netperf --send --receive -f M -H 10.1.1.1


Or am I missing something, and it's possible right now?
