The dude measures throughput. Manually place various objects on the map, connect them together with links then watch the utilization on the links.
Download an ISO image of some Linux distribution, copy it between two machines. If you want to test internet performance go to speedtest.net. Checkpoint has large ISO files hosted by Akamai.

Iperf is a great tool you can install on linux and/or windows and test between two points with multiple IO streams.
