Hi Víctor,

sorry that I cant answer earlier. It looks  like a bwctl error amd not a
oppd error. Try to start the measurement on the source host with bwctl.
Use the same options that you use in perfSONARUI.  If this work send me
the request message which perfSONARUI creates for this measurement.

regards,
Hakan
