How about...Speedtest.net? :-) This'd probably work on your z/OS machine:

Clearly you'll also need Python for z/OS,
I have used ftp as well for speed approximations. Having a clear picture
of your network layout will help. Kevin's point is very real.

Something we sometimes do is; Transfer large files with FTP from z/OS LPAR to
another LPAR (or any host). The FTP program gives a nice report per certain
amount of bytes transfered or time interval. (Either one of them, can't exactly
remember which). It shows the amount of bytes transfered per
