Research direction
Reproduce the report using the shown ./ethr -s -4 server and ./ethr -c 10.3.9.14 client commands, then compare the server and client Bits/s readings. The issue names no source files or tests, so first trace the TCP bandwidth measurement path and determine which reading is expected before defining a fix.
