Hi Sascha,

we had the same question a few months ago.
The network transfer rate doesnt tell you something about your network speed.
As far as I know the network transfer rate is calculated like this:

All bytes sent from the Node
----------------------------
session time

where the session time is the whole session time (include filespace scans; 
media wait times; etc.)

Tivoli told us to look at the aggregated network transfer rate; this is the 
rate the client needs to transfer the aggregates to the server...
Tivoli also told us to trace the sessions with the traceflag -perform to see 
the performance of the session.

hope this helps ;)
