Question about netperf terminology in the RTL8192SE and 802.11n problem thread

Hi -

From time to time I web search for instances of netperf usage, and came across http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg76387.html which has verbiage like:

TCP_MAERTS TX Test:  47.33 53.94 55.19 44.24 57.74 55.44 53.74 54.63 47.87 57.82
TCP_MAERTS RX Test:  66.02 69.79 67.70 52.15 82.56 80.30 79.43 80.98 76.26 71.34
Results: TX: max 57.82, min 44.24. Mean 52.79(4.42)
         RX: max 82.56, min 52.15. Mean 72.65(8.85)

TCP_STREAM TX Test:  71.83 80.44 72.88 26.11 40.85 58.70 58.49 58.96 59.52 59.35
TCP_STREAM RX Test:  46.41 52.64 43.85 48.44 52.15 49.66 52.81 50.61 43.18 52.93
Results: TX: max 80.44, min 26.11. Mean 58.71(14.93)
         RX: max 52.93, min 43.18. Mean 49.27(3.51)

TCP_SENDFILE TX Test: 57.86 55.94 55.21 56.13 56.70 61.71 56.85 54.68 55.04 51.30
TCP_SENDFILE RX Test: 37.82 47.51 41.61 42.88 45.37 35.11 45.09 40.11 46.48 22.86
Results: TX: max 61.71, min 51.30. Mean 56.14(2.50)
         RX: max 47.51, min 22.86. Mean 40.48(6.96)


in it. Seeing separate TX and RX lines for netperf TCP tests is unfamiliar to me and I was wondering if someone (Stephan?) could explain the split? Netperf itself tends to emit only the one figure for a transfer rate (measured up at the socket level). (Modulo some of the recentish omni output selectors anyway, though for a TCP transfer test they would/should be very very similar...)

thanks, and happy benchmarking,

rick jones
