Gilbert Elliot Loss

Simulate correlated packet loss using the Gilbert-Elliot two-state Markov model. Model realistic network behavior where losses tend to occur in bursts rather than independently. Operate with two states: 'good' (low loss probability) and 'bad' (high loss probability), with configurable transition probabilities between states. Essential for testing protocols that must handle correlated loss events and burst recovery scenarios.
