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:

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...)
Those numbers are from my tests. The TX numbers are the standard netperf output
and give the rate from my test laptop to a server that is wired to the
AP/router. Those are the numbers that you are used to.
The RX numbers are obtained by starting a server on my laptop and ssh'ing a
netperf command to the machine that was the server in the TX tests, i.e. I am
measuring the TX rate from the former server, or the RX rate for the laptop. My
script does 10 samples of each and calculates the mean and standard deviation.
