According to their documentation it could be: Errors Occurring Under Mass Load If a test passes for one or several virtual users, but fails for a greater number of virtual users, this may mean that the server is protected against denial of service (DoS) attacks. The host’s proxy server or router may include delayed binding and rate limiting capabilities that may treat requests from numerous virtual users as a DoS attack and forcibly close the corresponding connections. A typical symptom of such an issue is that the last response from the server does not contain the Connection: Close directive.
