On a related note, are there any test suites that measure the
success/failure rate of TCP connections while measuring throughput?
For example, pushing 10k TCP sessions and measuring time to complete
_and_ success rate? Normally, the httpd benchmark stuff would suffice,
but it would be ideal to avoid any end-application latency and ensure
that you're testing the quality of the device (firewall) in between.
