Chris,

While not very sexy, performing file system backups over the net is a
necessary and bandwidth hungry application.  Our corporate communications
folks are concerned that an FDDI backbone might be not be enough to get all
remote systems backed up to come central site in the not too far distant
future.  You might consider loading up 50% of the ring with this sort of
traffic, and then run some of the apps that other people will be suggesting.
