Speed test @ rates > 1Gb/s?

So iPerf is the goto performance test. It’s really easy at rates <=1Gb, but beyond that, it becomes a bit of a challenge... I can’t just pull out my laptop and test it as my laptop only has a 1Gb NIC.

Ultimately I am looking at building a pair of servers with 10Gb NICs to test rates across a few Ethernet circuits - as we don’t appear to be getting the rates we pay for.

Any suggestions or alternatives? I am thinking a system based around the Xeon D-1518 may be an inexpensive option.
