What sort of stuff you interested in? I used to do a lot of this
sort of analysis. There is a lot of "it depends" stuff in there
:-)
Some variables in order of importance:
Latency of link
Software performing the data transfers (eg ftp vs telnet)
Bandwidth
Number of parallel network transactions
The raw throughput in bytes is roughly the bits per second of the
line divide by ten, but the big questions are can that bandwidth be
effectively used.
