Probably wont give you the maximum throughput because you're adding up a lot of processing power (VMs, same card/pc). I'm not sure even jumbo frames would be supported across.

Not to mention that you're not going to have any device that can feed that pipe quick enough.

But I've heard that iperf can do it. It's pretty easy. Post your results here too so we can all gawk at the awesome speeds!
