I'd be interested in hearing from people on the net who may be
interested in comparing the performance of OSI network offerings from
a number of different vendors.  Are there industry-standard benchmarks
available which help one to determine if a certain vendor's OSI services
are better than the next guy's?  

I recently asked the same question about TCP/IP on
comp.protocols.tcp-ip.  I was surprised to find how little is out there
to test "standard" networks in a "standard" fashion.  Or maybe I have
the wrong impression.

Any comments or information will be most appreciated.
