The typical stereotype of a school of piranhas is that they might leave a skeletonized cow or person in their wake.
1990 September 10, Salvatore Salamone, “The need for LAN benchmarks. Without standardized measures, network users can't easily tell what aspects of LAN performance to measure”, in Network World. The Newsweekly of User Networking Strategies, volume 7, number 37, International Data Group, pages 51, 74:Gary Larson, creator of "The Far Side" cartoon strip, observes that anytime piranhas are mentioned, a benchmark that is always referenced is how fast they can skeletonize a cow. Unfortunately for network managers, whenever LANs are mentioned, there is no one measure or benchmark of performance that quickly comes to mind. As LAN users move to more data-intensive applications, such as imaging or video, performance issues will become more important and the need for comparative measures of network components and systems will become even more urgent. That means network managers and systems integrators will be looking for their equivalent of a skeletonized cow for years to come.
