2-------------------
3These tests exercise net/vmw_vsock/ host<->guest sockets for VMware, KVM, and

18Invoke test binaries in both directions as follows:

20  # host=server, guest=client
21  (host)# $TEST_BINARY --mode=server \
22                       --control-port=1234 \
23                       --peer-cid=3
24  (guest)# $TEST_BINARY --mode=client \
25                        --control-host=$HOST_IP \
26                        --control-port=1234 \
27                        --peer-cid=2
28
29  # host=client, guest=server
30  (guest)# $TEST_BINARY --mode=server \
31                        --control-port=1234 \
32                        --peer-cid=2
33  (host)# $TEST_BINARY --mode=client \
34                       --control-port=$GUEST_IP \
35                       --control-port=1234 \
