I've just spent several months working on a project in which we needed to set up on-demand throughput tests across our network. As proud as I am of our software, I'm pretty sure that the pathchar package will do a better job of it for monitoring -- I'm busy migrating bits of our home-brew solution to pathchar. You'll find it in the net category of the ports tree. If you don't use the ports tree (shame on you :-), you can grab a package for FreeBSD 3.3 at: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3.3-release/net/pathchar-a1.tgz Ciao, Sheldon.
