-Creating a bidirectional toxic is done by implementing a second `Pipe()` function called `PipeRequest()`.
+Creating a bidirectional toxic is done by implementing a second `Pipe()` function called `PipeUpstream()`.
 The implementation is same as a regular toxic, and can be paired with other types such as a stateful toxic.
 
 One use case of a bidirectional toxic is to mock out the backend server entirely, which is shown below:
