yes, this is what I meant with 'DUT and tester will run on two separated
devices' (sorry to have not been so clear). Looking at the code server_fd
is always obtained from start_server(), while here the client on the tester
just knows the IPv4/IPv6 address and the port of the server running on the DUT.
