Quite a few years ago some friends and I set up a test network based on interlocking rings of modems. One direction around the ring was "high throughput" and the other was "low latency". We sent full-MTU packets the high throughput direction and runts the other. For our toy loads it seemed to be a pretty good heuristic.
