Ultra uses a network benchmark program named "tsock," which is a
distant descendant of the "ttcp" program from BRL.  It basically
measures process-to-process throughput across a network, using either
memory or disk as source or sink.  There are also numerous options
(the "usage" message is over 25 lines long!), so you can probably make
it do whatever you want.

This program is available from Ultra, although since U. of Illinois is
an UltraNet site (:-), there's probably a copy closer at hand (like on
your Crays?).  If you can't find anything there, gimme a holler and
I'll tell you how to get a copy (I'll probably simply e-mail you a
shar file, but I need to check into that first).  Of course, you may
already know about "tsock" and be looking for something else; if so,
sorry for the wasted net bandwidth ...
