(sort of poor man's RRUL).</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; word-wrap: break-word;">The speedof.me API would give you the measured performance, while the other path would just be aan easier to code test load to a source/sink.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; word-wrap: break-word;">Not sure that would help, but for a prototype it's not bad.</p>
