Curtis,

MCInet and ANS are doing some throughput test which is a very high level performance test. We can do some perfrmance test when the link to the PacBell lab is ready. Looking forward to listening to your presentation at NANOG.

Frank, You might consider using packet sources with relatively constant interpacket spacing to be high level, but we have seen that it is entirely possible to do very well in such tests and then fail miserably under an actual traffic load. If you are interested in previewing (comments welcome), the preliminary results and content of my discussion next Monday (slides and annotation) now have a <a href="http://tweedledee.ans.net:8001/nap-testing/"> temporary home</a>. :-) It will move so please don't reference any URLs.
