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.
