If you want to do that with star and I'm sure mt and others have this as well. You just simply open up the ping utility on the ap and ping the client. You can select your packet sizes as well. And another thing we do, is to test throughput from the su to the ap or beyond with the built in bandwidth tester. Usually I test both directions, from the ap to the su and from the su to the ap.
