Are there any tools to determine what sort of
bandwidth you are actually using?

I would assume that this is relatively low and
falls during periods of silence, etc.

Ideally, I would like to be able to set up
device(s) that take fixed portions of bandwidth
and see what happens as the number of such
devices approaches the technology's limits.
I.e. how number of nodes impacts throughput, etc.
