Basically it's coded so that you REQuest some samples from a server.

So the REQ is the source (it sends a request for data and gets back
some samples that are fed to GR).
And REP obviously then has to be a sink since it waits for a REQuest
and when it gets one, sends some data out of GR in the REPlies.
