Sporadic Traffic Source

Generate bursty traffic patterns with randomized burst characteristics and variable idle periods for realistic application traffic simulation. This traffic generator creates sporadic transmission patterns where packets are sent in irregular bursts followed by random idle periods, mimicking real-world application behaviors like file transfers, web browsing, and interactive applications.
