Check out a unit called EXPERDATA. Does 100% Ethernet load testing and may also do the delay measurement your wanting. Look on page 51 in the August issue of LAN Technology for their ad. EXPERDATA 10301 Toledo Avenue South Bloomington, MN 55437 (612)831-2122 Fax (612)835-0700 Ad say tests and identifies malfunctioning network interface cards, MAU's, hubs, concentrators during installation and while the network is operating. Also test Token RIng LANs.
