It might be useful to try some
kind of protocol test. I don't know <br>
that there are any out there. It would make sense to send some data at<br>
each TCP and UDP port, and measure the difference in speed/latency.<br>
<br>
That kind of app would probably
generate some buzz, too.</span></font></p>

Iperf is the perfect tool for just that. It tests, TCP, UDP, and
Multicast traffic.<br>
<br>
You'll need to run it on a server available to the internet, and open the
appropriate port in your firewall. <br>
