+## Label nodes
+k8s-netperf will make the best decision it can to schedule the client and server in your cluster. However,
+you can provide hints to ensure the client and server will always land on specific nodes.
+
+To do this, apply a label to the nodes you want the client and server running
+
+```shell
+$ oc label nodes node-name netperf=true
+```
+
 ## Running with Pods
 Ensure your `kubeconfig` is properly set to the cluster you would like to run `k8s-netperf` against.
