Well, it is just an open source code, where you are more to welcome to add
your patches and to publish them for other users and, probably, a mainline
integration.

A load of more than 1 GB is not an issue, if you have a strong enough HW,
where
the below link may be of some assistance:
http://curl-loader.sourceforge.net/high-load-hw/index.html

Without any patching you can run two instances of curl-loader from two
console
terminals, where each will be loading via it's own network interface. It
will work
even better on PCs with more than a single CPU/core, and I would recommend
to
add a small patch of CPU-affinity to make each load CPU-independent.
Take care, that you have enough memory.
