Once upon a time, about 1982, I measured 70kbits/sec from my host
looped through the local IMP and back, using max-sized UDP packets.

The IMP was number 1 on the ARPANET (UCLA); the host was an IBM 3033
mainframe; the IMP interface was the ACC IF/370 using an 1822 VDH connection.

We commonly saw 45-48 kbits/sec doing FTP's between two different hosts
via the UCLA IMP; the source was generally a VAX runnning LOCUS
in Computer Science, and the sink was the aforementioned 3033 (Computer
Science sure loved the cheap, fast printing available on the mainframe!).
