Detailed Description

Determine which bursts of packets are errored corresponding to an underlying distribution, burst rate, and burst size.

This object is used to flag packets as being lost/errored or not. The two parameters that govern the behavior are the burst rate (or equivalently, the mean duration/spacing between between error events), and the burst size (or equivalently, the number of packets being flagged as errored at each error event).

Users can optionally provide RandomVariableStream objects; the default for the decision variable is to use a Uniform(0,1) distribution; the default for the burst size (number of packets) is to use a discrete Uniform[1,4] distribution.

For every packet, the model generates a random number based on the decision variable, and compares it with the burst error rate to determine if a burst error event should occur. If a new error event occurs, the model to will generate a new burst size to determine how many packets should be dropped in this particular burst error event in addition to the current packet.

When a second packet arrives, the model again determines if a new error event should occur based on a newly generated decision variable and the burst error rate. If a new error event is determined to occur, the model will restart with a new burst size. Otherwise, the model will resume the last error event and drop the packet provided that the total number of packets that has been dropped does not exceed the burst size.

IsCorrupt() will not modify the packet data buffer
