I would assume that any large stream of TCP data transfers would
generate lots of TCP ACK packets.

If you have ttcp installed, you can do:

recv_host# ttcp -b 65536 -l 16384 -s -r

send_host# ttcp -b 65536 -l 16384 -s -n 10000 -t recv_host

Where recv_host and send_host are two machines that will communicate
over the network interface you want to test...  You can increase the
"-n 10000" parameter to send more data packets...
