What is the best way to benchmark network throughput? We are using 2 Gigabit
ethernet ports on our NetBackup Master/Media server, and we are not seeing
the throughput we are expecting for backups. Since we stream multiple
classes to each drive, I'm inclined to believe that it's the network, not
the 8 DLT drives.  They sit idle a lot...shoe shining? We are using crude
copy scripts now to try to measure throughput - anyone got something better?

HW - Sun E450, 2 Sun Gb PCI cards dedicated to the backup segment...

Thanks!
