Umm...Lots of clients together would be the first obvious testing that
comes to my mind.

One thing to look at would be erratic clients. If some clients connect
and disconnect within a short span of time, we should look if the
collector works fine there.

Also, we should verify the accuracy of the statistics collected. A
small deviation is fine, but we should do a formal test, just to be
sure.

Does anyone think that the new untracked ports introduced by the patch
could pose a problem? I am not sure there.

I havent taken a deep look at the patch yet, but I will try to do so.
However, since I will be in Dublin next week, it may happen that my
inputs may be delayed a bit. The plus side is that I will discuss this
with lots of people there.

Adding myself as the co reviewer specifically for the testing
purposes, if its ok with you.
