A stream is unidirectional. So it is outgoing for one side, incoming
for the other. The outgoing side has to request the reset, the incoming
side will perform it and acknowledge that the reset has been performed and
then the outgoing side will also do the reset.

It is not related to client or server. It is related to the unidirectional
stream. You could all the outgoing side the sender, the incoming side the receiver...
