You may want to try installing iperf if you are interested in measuring actual network throughput rather than just network interface speed. This runs in a client/server environment and should not be tested on a production network as it WILL saturate your link quite happily. It exists for almost every OS, and works over both UDP and TCP. The report it generates tells you network throughput over time. -- Steve.
