Trace Traffic Source

Generates realistic network traffic by replaying patterns from pre-recorded trace files. Reads traffic characteristics from structured trace files containing timing, size, and other packet metadata. Enables accurate reproduction of real-world traffic patterns for testing and simulation purposes. Supports loop playback with configurable delays between iterations, allowing long-duration testing scenarios. Essential for validating protocol behavior under authentic traffic conditions and performance benchmarking with representative workloads.
