Since you can send and receive both responses and queries, I prefer
"initiator" and "responder" to "sender" and "receiver". I think I
first saw those terms used in one of Vixie's drafts, and I liked them.

"Client" and "server" have semantic overtones (e.g. relating to end
users and services) and I find them less precise unless the context is
very clear.
