How about writing a plugin, which downloads a file of a given size and
measures the time it took, then let the plugin calculate the bandwidth.
You could use wget and an external high-speed server for that.

You could also, of course, simply go for "check_bandwidth"
(https://trac.id.ethz.ch/projects/nagios_plugins/wiki/check_bandwidth)
which uses iperf (http://www.dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/) on a remote
host.  ;-)


This doesn't seem to be the same check_bandwidth as on the
nagiosexchange-page, though.
