The only problem I&#x27;ve had with siege and similar tools is that they&#x27;re good to simulate load but from my perspective, they&#x27;re not as useful when it comes to simulate real-life load, as in multiple IPs, different bandwidths, bursts, etc.<p>The only services that I found to simulate real life usage were paying services, which is understandable. Maybe in the future with some bittorrent-like load testing framework, I don&#x27;t know.
