[Seagull-users] seagull poisson distribution

[Planat, V. <vin...@hp...>]

Some details related to this contribution

-          Impact on the code is limited to C_TrafficModel.cpp and
C_TrafficModel.hpp

-          For the tests, I've commented an important part of the
authorize_new_call() method, related to the constant distribution
generator, and replaced by a poisson generator.v=20

-          No traffic-limit or burst management is done by this
function.

-          No integration with the config file of seagull was done.=20

-          It stamp the elapsed number of seconds since the beginning of
the test, compute the delta (nb of seconds) since last call of the
method and generate a poisson random value with a mean (mu) value =3D
DeltaTime * average-call-rate.

-          It returns this value

For the Poisson random generator I've used some Numerical recipe
libraries. From the following link
(http://www.nr.com/infotop.html#distinfo) it seems that we are in the
first case (Olivier check please ...) and they grant an automatic
permission. ! So that should resolve the problem.

-----------------------------------------------

We receive a range of requests regarding redistribution permissions, and
we try to apply a consistent and straightforward policy in answering
these requests. Here are the most common cases:=20

*	You want to distribute an executable (.exe) file that has some
Numerical Recipes routines bound inside. The NR routines are not
separable from the executable file, and they are not visible to the user
of the executable as separately invokable entities. (In particular, your
executable is not a wrapper for the NR routines to be used in a
workbench or mix-and-match environment.)=20

	*	For noncommercial use, we grant automatic permission for
this kind of redistribution. For commercial use, you must contact us for
permission, which will generally be granted without any fee.
