I've just spent several months working on a project in which we needed
to set up on-demand throughput tests across our network.  As proud as
I am of our software, I'm pretty sure that the pathchar package will
do a better job of it for monitoring -- I'm busy migrating bits of our
home-brew solution to pathchar.

You'll find it in the net category of the ports tree.  If you don't use
the ports tree (shame on you :-), you can grab a package for FreeBSD 3.3
at:

	ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3.3-release/net/pathchar-a1.tgz

Ciao,
Sheldon.
