it has flags to tailor the number of connections, bandwidth, message rate, etc. or are you speaking to malicious use?

#5Is there a way to specify a sequence of messages every connection should send? Preferably even let it randomize it (want to load test a game with real input, not just set up the connection).

#7One minor nit about the projects use of autoconf / automake. Projects should please check the generated files into git. Sure, they're auto-generated. But 90% of the time when they're not in git, I discover that I have a different version of autoconf, and I can't even build "configure" in order to build the project.
The cost of a few more bytes in git is more than outweighed by the benefits of allowing people to use your software.

If you intend to use the software, you should generally download a release. Releases usually (as is the case here) include the configure scripts.
