one or more processors; and
a memory coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory is configured to store program instructions executable by the one or more processors to implement a simulator, wherein the simulator comprises:
a simulation engine configured to generate concurrent user activity for a plurality of different simulated users including a first user and a second user, wherein the concurrent user activity is generated according to the first user operating in a first user environment and the second user operating in a second user environment different from the first user environment; and
a first browser configured to receive the user activity from the simulation engine and send Internet requests to one or more destinations according to the user activity so that the Internet requests from the first browser simulate a plurality of different concurrent users for the one or more destinations.
