[Tmrg] Traffic generators

[jsommers at cs.wisc.edu]

Lachlan,

Yes, file arrival times and file sizes are specified when generating
traffic with Harpoon.  Indeed, sessions are intended to mimic longer-time
scale variations in traffic volume.  They are *not* intended to model
anything about the web, or web sessions.
