On the system under test I started four ttcp sessions: two senders and
two receivers (the second one on a non-standard port). One pair for
each port (device). I'm not sure, to which degree the device was
saturated. It certainly should have been, since the remote hosts are
capable of line rate, but I found the sending ttcp sessions on the
system under test to be slow, as long as traffic was incoming.
