I'd set up some sort of plain (i.e. not scp) data transfer test between the hosts. A temporary internal ftp/http server should do fine. Then do a "wget http://my.other.local.ip/a.large.file/"; and see what the average data rate is. ~1 meg per second == 10Mbps connection, ~10 megs per second == 100 Mbps connection.
