All of the ones that I am aware of, like ttcp (the test program) tend to neglect latency. The NFS tests, like NFSBench, have the same drawbacks. To get latency measures, you need to install a request/response server of some kind (like Samba) and run something like "LANPerf" or Ziff-Davis' "WinBench" series against it over the wire. What is ultimately useful depends on what you are testing for (as opposed to what you think you are testing for).
