"rate_" parameter in Exponential traffic

Hello there,

I am not sure the setting of "rate_" in
Exponential traffic

I wanna generate data traffic with rate of 16kps , and
packetsize is 40Byts.
burst_time 450ms, idle_time 50ms,
In my calculation,  16kps = rate_ * burst_time / (burst_time
+ idle_time) ,
so I get rate_ is 17.778 k

Is it right ? or just set rate_ = 16k?

rate_ is the rate at which traffic is sent during the burst
time 
(on-interval).

So, yes, your overall mean rate = rate_ * burst_time /
(burst_time + 
idle_time)

Note that this is only true for the mean as burst_time and
idle_time are 
only the means of the on- and off-interval respectively.

lg,
     Martina
