What does your quick and dirty test program use for socket buffer sizes and/or send sizes? What does the performance look like with a netperf TCP_STREAM test of various socket buffer and send sizes?

For my test program I used a 8K send and receive buffers. The socket buffers and options were left at default values.

8KB socket buffers, 8KB writes to the socket or both?

I tried netperf and the throughput numbers were virtually identical. I could only use the default buffer sizes with netperf as the -[sSmMD] options mentioned on the netperf website are missing.

Being test-specific commandline options they are placed after a "--" on the command line to separate them from the global command line options:

netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H <remote> -- -s 128K -S 128K -m 32K

would be one example.

Also is there a  way to do a reverse transfer with netperf without
switching to the other machine?

Yes, the TCP_MAERTS test (MAERTS == STREAM backwards)
