Try bing:

BING(8)                  UNIX System Manager's Manual
BING(8)

NAME
     bing - compute point to point throughput using two sizes of ICMP
     ECHO_REQUEST packets to a pair of remote hosts

SYNOPSIS
     bing [-dDnrRPvVwz] [-c count] [-e samples] [-i wait] [-p pattern] [-s
          small packetsize] [-S big packetsize] host1 host2

DESCRIPTION
     Bing determines bandwidth on a point-to-point link by sending ICMP
     ECHO_REQUEST packets and measuring their roundtrip times for different
     packet sizes on each end of the link.

Bye,
        LenZ
