Interpret Iperf3 results for bidirectional UDP Test

vg flag

I am trying to make sense of the raw logs of an iperf3 UDP bidIrectional test.

Here are the iperf3 client logs:

iperf Done.

In the per second datapoints, for example,

[  5][TX-C]   0.00-1.00   sec  1.04 GBytes  8.93 Gbits/sec            124718  
[  7][RX-C]   0.00-1.00   sec   586 MBytes  4.92 Gbits/sec  0.017 ms  51093/119778 (43%) 

Is TX-C referring to bandwidth for data sent by the client?

Similarly, in the server logs, as shown below,

[  5][RX-S]   0.00-1.00   sec   586 MBytes  4.92 Gbits/sec  0.019 ms  53669/122373 (44%)  
[  6][TX-S]   0.00-1.00   sec  1.02 GBytes  8.72 Gbits/sec            121799  

is TX-S and RX-S referring to server receive and send bandwidth?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
