+JMeter/RMI requires a connection from the client to the server. This will use the port you chose, default 1099.
+JMeter/RMI also requires a reverse connection in order to return sample results from the server to the client.
+This will use a high-numbered port.
+If there are any firewalls or other network filters between JMeter client and server,
+you will need to make sure that they are set up to allow the connections through.
+If necessary, use monitoring software to show what traffic is being generated.
