I did one lately by asking 20 "power" users to download a service pack of
34MB from Microsoft, viewing cnn.com's newscast on demand, etc
simultaenously, etc and monitoring the leased line bandwidth and CPUs of the
firewalls.

P.S.  I spent two weeks finding and trying out various tools, but to no
avail.  Finally, I mobilized these users.
