The bidirectional looks like a two concurrent stream (TCP_STREAM + TCP_MAERTS) 
test right?

If you want a single-stream bidirectional test, then with the top of trunk 
netperf you can use:

./configure --enable-burst
make install # yadda yadda
netperf -t TCP_RR -H <remote> -f m -v 2 -l 60 -c -C -- -r 64K -b 12

which will cause netperf to have 13, 64K transactions in flight at one time on 
the connection, which for a 64K request size has been sufficient, thusfar 
anyway, to saturate things.  As there is no select/poll/whatever call in netperf 
TCP_RR it might be necessary to include test-specific -s and -S options to make 
sure the socket buffer (SO_SNDBUF) is large enough that none of those send() 
calls ever block, lest both ends end-up blocked in a send() call.

The -f m will switch the output from transactions/s to megabits per second and 
is the part requiring the top of trunk netperf.  The -v 2 stuff causes extra 
stuff to give bitrates in each direction and transaction/s rate as well as 
computed average latency.  That is also in top of trunk, otherwise, for 2.4.3 
you can skip that and do the math to conver to megabits/s yourself and not get 
all the other derived values.
