I'm not using a hacked version of netperf. The 50,6 has been there a long
time so I'm not sure where I took it from any more. It might have been an
older version or me being over-zealous at the time.

Good question. Now that I examine the scripts, it is in fact the sending
side that is being reported which is flawed. Granted I'm not expecting any
UDP loss on loopback and looking through a range of results, the
difference is marginal. It's still wrong to report just the sending side
for UDP_STREAM and I'll correct the scripts for it in the future.

Thanks!
