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. That means network managers and systems integrators will be looking for their equivalent of a skeletonized cow for years to come.
