The test is from lmbench. You can get it from:

http://reality.sgi.com/employees/lm/lmbench/lmbench.html

Also, there's some pretty good documentation for it there.

OBbenchmark:

% ./bw_tcp localhost
Socket bandwidth using localhost: 3.33 MB/sec
% ./bw_pipe
Pipe bandwidth: 6.59 MB/sec

Not bad for a very old SS2. Who needs an Ultra?
