Good references for defining measurement experiments, and the parameters to be measured, are in ANSI standards X3.102 and X3.141. These parameters are meant to be comparable among different ssytems. > What I really need is something which gives > realistic numbers for point to point communications rates over > a variety of network/protocol/machine/operating system > combinations.

Clearly, these won't be applicable to internal processor performance.
