  NetPIPE is a protocol independent performance tool that encapsulates
  the best of ttcp and netperf and visually represents the network
  performance under a variety of conditions. By taking the end-to-end
  application view of a network, NetPIPE clearly shows the overhead
  associated with different protocol layers. Netpipe answers such
  questions as: how soon will a given data block of size k arrive at its
  destination? Which network and protocol will transmit size k blocks
  the fastest? What is a given network's effective maximum throughput
  and saturation level?  Does there exist a block size k for which the
  throughput is maximized? How much communication overhead is due to the
  network communication protocol layer(s)? How quickly will a small (< 1
  kbyte) control message arrive, and which network and protocol are best
  for this purpose?

  For a paper fully describing NetPIPE and sample investigation of
  network performance issues using NetPIPE, see the homepage.
