I'm not sure of the answer, but a tool to show
you throughput is only as far as ports (actually it
may be in packages). Nettest, it's some old code from
Cray, but it still works great. I ported it to FreeBSD
(wasn't hard). I also ported it to NT (with GNU installed),
that was a little harder. :-)
Basically, you run the daemon on one machine (nettestd) and
the client on the other (nettest remote-host).
Cool stuff.
