What you could use is a traffic generator tool.  Some are free.  Some often have a receiver function, that can provide you addition information, i.e. what happened during the data transfer test.  However, even simple traffic generators might be used to flood a link at a certain rate, e.g. if I send 1 Mbps into one end of the link, does 1 Mbps come out the outer side?

BTW, don't forget the impact of these tools on concurrent traffic, as filling a link to full capacity will often be detrimental to other traffic.  Also, if there's other traffic, don't forget to include its bandwidth consumption to confirm actual path bandwidth.
