Any tool for network/bandwidth testing "standard" Solaris 9?

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any tool that is available in a standard Solaris installation that can be used to estimate network throughput/bandwidth?

I know that there are tools like ttcp, etc., but these Solaris (SPARC) boxes are in an environment where I can't "bring in" or install any software/tools beyond what is normally available in a Solaris installation (no compilers available on the system, but I think that perl exists).

I don't need anything really "precise", but am looking for something that will allow me to gauge "pure network" throughput between two particular machines. I guess that I could use FTP, but am looking for something that will eliminate file/disk overhead and just test the network.

Thanks,
Jim
