Frank,

You might consider using packet sources with relatively constant
interpacket spacing to be high level, but we have seen that it is
entirely possible to do very well in such tests and then fail
miserably under an actual traffic load.

If you are interested in previewing (comments welcome), the
preliminary results and content of my discussion next Monday (slides
and annotation) now have a
<a href="http://tweedledee.ans.net:8001/nap-testing/">
temporary home</a>.  :-)
It will move so please don't reference any URLs.
