Best hardware for a fast local Ethernet?

Dear all,

I am setting up a new Ethernet network at home, I am going to have a good 100 Mbps internet connection (optic fiber) with a modem that have a gigabit ethernet card.
I would like to to measure the speed of data transmission between several servers that are going to be connected to the new modem (box) via some Ethernet cable, therefore one of my questions is:
What kind of software tool do you recommend to measure the performance of a local Network?
Does the cable can make a difference? Should I purchase a certain type of cable?
Thanks for any recommendations or pointing some quality documentation about optimizing the speed of a local network

Many thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

XI(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     XI(4)

NAME
xi -- Xircom CreditCard Ethernet device driver SYNOPSIS
xi* at xirc? Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary. See mii(4). DESCRIPTION
The xi driver provides support for the Xircom CreditCard family of PCMCIA Ethernet adapters. Supported cards include: Xircom CreditCard Ethernet II Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet + Modem (Ethernet function only) Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 Compaq Netelligent 10/100 Cards which should work, but have not been confirmed include: Xircom RealPort Ethernet Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet Some Xircom Ethernet products are supported by the tlp(4) driver. MEDIA SELECTION
Media selection is done using ifconfig(8) using the standard ifmedia(4) mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information. SEE ALSO
ifmedia(4), mii(4), netintro(4), pcmcia(4), tlp(4), xirc(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY
The xi device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5. BUGS
The driver suffers from poor performance. Even with the 10/100 cards, do not expect more than ~450KB/s. Some 10/100 cards may not autonego- tiate reliably and require manual media selection. The Xircom multifunction cards which contain both Ethernet and modem interfaces are known to have problems. This is due to the card not reporting itself correctly as a multifunction card. BSD
