perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

I have a laptop that I am using to do point in time tests of bandwidth and latency in various labs around our campus.  This is mostly to have an "apples to apples" test (or at least the closest thing to it I can get).

However, my bandwidth tests are coming up at close to the theoretical maximum for TCP/IP over the switch port speed. This isn't really what the users are seeing.  Does anyone know of flags I could send to bwctl or owamp to more accurately represent different types of traffic (video streams, loading a GIS file, rsyncing a giant image or tgz, I/O on lots of small files, etc).

Thanks for your help,
