How to circumvent siege concurrency socket select timed out

benchmarkconcurrencyload-testingsocket

Being trying to test load capacity of a web site. I am using an aws ubuntu xenial server t2.micro as test client and have SIEGE 3.0.8 and apache benchmark Version 2.3

while ab -c 100 -n 100000 url completes without an issue thes on the other hand siege -c 100 -i -b -f urldatabase.txt -t 20m produces 

** SIEGE 3.0.8
** Preparing 150 concurrent users for battle.
The server is now under siege...[alert] socket: 470009600 select timed out: Connection timed out
[alert] socket: 562329344 select timed out: Connection timed out
[alert] socket: -159443200 select timed out: Connection timed out
[alert] socket: -83908864 select timed out: Connection timed out
[alert] socket: 109123328 select timed out: Connection timed out
[alert] socket: 654649088 select timed out: Connection timed out

Is there any tweaking that is necessary ? I have followed a tutorial on easyengine.com but it didn't help still having the same issue

Please update the siege.

wget http://download.joedog.org/siege/siege-4.0.4.tar.gz
tar -zxf siege-4.0.4.tar.gz
cd siege-4.0.4
./configure
make 
sudo make install
siege.config

You may need to issue the following command:

sudo mv /usr/local/bin/siege /usr/bin/
