Tools to measure TCP connection speed

Son of a biscuit, they took the commands out of my 7200's and 6500's.

You used to be able to just type "ttcp" and follow some prompts, I'm  
not sure that Cisco ever really documented much of it though. I had  
found it through DOTU back in the day.

Quoted from Cisco about this:
"Note: The ttcp command is a hidden, unsupported, privileged mode  
command. As such, its availability may vary from one Cisco IOS  
software release to another, such that it might not exist in some  
releases."
