General note: scp is great for real-life use over unprotected networks.
But because there is the overhead of encryption and decryption, scp can
be limited by processor power at one end or the other of a link, rather
than raw throughput (especially if the network card itself requires a
lot of processor time to do its stuff). This means it's not the best
choice for measuring anything other than scp throughput.
