Measuring bandwidth, bad packets, latency

[JM <hondgm () yahoo com>]

Hello,
We're going to do some Ethernet physical layer testing, basically testing the effects of different types of cable (for 
industrial/automotive).  For the most part, this will simply involve a single link with varying qualities of cable 
between the two PCs.  

Since I've already used Wireshark to analyze packets, I was thinking maybe it could also do this.  I've done some 
searching, but didn't find much.  What I'd like to have is two computers, or maybe just one with two NICs, send traffic 
through the link and report what the throughput, latency, error rate, etc is.  

If Wireshark isn't able to do this, or if an add-on isn't available, does anyone have any suggestions?  Free/open 
source is of course preferred.
