Gary Larson, creator of "The Far Side" cartoon strip, observes that anytime piranhas are mentioned, a benchmark that is always referenced is how fast they can skeletonize a cow. Unfortunately for network managers, whenever LANs are mentioned, there is no one measure or benchmark of performance that quickly comes to mind. […] As LAN users move to more data-intensive applications, such as imaging or video, performance issues will become more important and the need for comparative measures of network components and systems will become even more urgent.
