Try a little tool called Iperf.  Use UDP flows to avoid TCP windowing
and slow start issues.  Also, may want toset your max datagram size
within iperf to 1450 or something.  On some of our PPPoE links the 1460
datagram size was getting fragmented.  Reassembly was killing our router
- and hence throughput, jitter, etc.

With a 2Mbit uplink would it be ok to reach a maximal throughput of
2Mbit? This is what I get when I download a large file ad midnight, when
nobody else is using the cable. But this doesnt sound like  astress test
to me. How can I perform such a test?
