multi-OS/architecture network speed test?

[sigmend]

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any applications that would allow me to see how much data per sec I can push from two boxes on my network. Heres the catch, One box is windows, and one is Mac OSX. (only 2 with 10/100/1000)
Now, I can compile -most- linux/unix apps on the macosx box, but I dont really know of any..
Any suggestions?

A quick google and I found something that might work:
http://www.update.uu.se/~shikaree/
NetSpeed Client and Server
See if it will compile on osx.

I was able to compile it under osx
BUT
it says I can do 200kBps, and this is over gigabit with prefab cat6 cables

Well then, try this one: http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/

Ohh and report back the speed, and if the ethernet controler is on 32bit/32mhz bus or faster. Mmm benchmarks

Edit: I just used the above program myself between windows 100mbit and linux 1000mbit:

TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------

Worked great, thanks
