Bidirectional tests

When you use the '-d' or '-r' options for bidirectional testing, I find that you may need to pick a port other than the default [5001] as the server is listening on port 5001. In the below examples, I picked random ports above 1024 were chosen.

I We found that using the same port (with the -L) option in rapid succession doesn't seem to work. I don't know what the deal is with that, I assume it is a server end FW issue that times out.

The simultaneous test results are a little may be difficult to read. It looks like only TCP is working. UDP doesn't appear to be working even after upgrading to iperf-2.0.4 [there were supposed to be some bug fixes]. It appears to be a problem in the official distribution according to recent ubuntu forums.

If you do not pick a port it will fail:
