A good test is to use netcat (in UDP mode is best, but TCP if you want to 
measure your TCP stack as well).  Source /dev/zero on one end, and dump it to 
/dev/null on the other end.

This pretty much limits you to testing your network card and relevant parts of 
the network stack as the null source and the bit bucket tend to be fairly fast :)
