probably ISP load testing is more like it.  i wonder how many
tcp connections i can open simultaneously before things
get sick (anyone tried this on a rainy afternoon?).
who will crumble first?  the adsl modem?  the local node?
the aggregator?  the traffic shaper?  the accounting software!?
or if the connections are scattered would some DNS blow up?
maybe OSPF or BGP?

at a higher level, swarming an online gaming site with 130K
keen poker players would be something to watch, perhaps
starting off with a small crowd and then getting silly.

getting silly.
