Although we weren't going to use our new gigabit backbone connection immediately, I wanted to check that we reallycould get something close to gigabit performance through it and thateverything was working smoothly. When you're doing network performancetesting, you really need to do it from a platform that you trust, sothat any slowness can be attributed to the stuff in the middle andnot to your end having issues.
