Dear Mirza,

It depends. Click has all kinds of counter elements 
(<http://www.read.cs.ucla.edu/click/elements#counters>) so that is one 
possibility. Another possible way to measure rates is running e.g. iperf over 
a Click system, which will of course report rates. One can also look at the 
tcpdump files resulting from ToDump elements and analyse them with Wireshark 
for e.g. TCP performance.
These are only some possible approaches, I'm sure there are more. 

Regards,
Bart
