I used ttcp and netperf, but the tests aren't as interesting as setting up the
toplogies, like 1G Ethernet; Ethernet -> PPP -> Ethernet and Ethernet -> IRDA 
-> Ethernet
and DSL connections through SSH.   Plus, LTP (and are local automated test 
machines)
don't seem to be setup for multi-machine tests.
