My UDP test is a single port send-reply system. I'm using, like I say before
SIPp (http://sipp.sourceforge.net/), which goal is to generate a lot of SIP
calls. But, in my case, it's not very different than your udp ping-echo (2
packets, send and reply ).
I think this test can qualify for a high throughput test (I have only one
network card, and I generate something like 14-15 MB of traffic on my
network, with 3 old computers.).
If your are interested by this kind of test, I can send you the program.

I not very easy with UDP. I know it's not reliable, but I don't know what
kind of action a standard ethernet card or my switch take. But I have just
realized a direct test between my client and my server, and I just have 50%
of network utilization without problem.
