Hmm:
	Is there any difference between tcp and udp?
	Maybe udp with 'sysctl -w net.inet.udp.checksum=0'?
	(ttcp can benchmark tcp and udp)

	Getting more elaborate: (trying different code paths), how about
	comparing 'ping -f' with various options, or (limiting case),
	if you have a mac anywhere nearby, try installing netatalk or
	netatalk-asun, and test the appletalk transfer speeds.
