Measure throughput between Cisco devices

We've got a Direct Connect from HQ to AWS with 1Gb transport. I'm attempting to test the throughput before I tell our storage team to begin pushing backups to S3. I don't have access to any servers in AWS to run iPerf so I found a hidden command called "ttcp" on Cisco devices. I've ran this command with default parameters and I'm getting 107kB/s which is pretty short of the 1Gb we're paying for.

Is anyone familiar with this ttcp command or is there a better way I can test throughput before I go back to the Service Provider and say, "what the heck man??"
