It's tough to measure upload bandwidth. In general, however, you won't
be getting the stated maximum upload bandwidth at any given time.

If the machines are using 10. or 192. addresses, then there's no way
that packets could escape because those are not publicly-routable
addresses. If you telnet from one of your internal machines to another
one, you shouldn't worry, unless of course you have a hub and not a
switch. ;-)
