What NIC are you using ?

No problem. I can send you my scripts that I use the record the bandwidth
usage. Some of them can be found on www.docum.org. Basically, I create a
iptables chain for each traffic stream I want to monitor. I record the
counters each second and calculates the bandwdith.
I have some scripts that executes a htb script, starts the needed flows,
calculates the bandwidth, if the bandwidth is stable : record the bandwidth,
restart the proces with a different setting.
After some time, you have it for each rate so you can create a nice graph.
