Distributional Attribute

A Distributional attribute stores a statistical distribution as well as all the Performance attribute information. When a model queries the value of a Distributional attribute, it samples from its statistical distribution and returns that value, subject to its minimum value and maximum value constraints. The statistical distributions available in netWorks are described in Appendix B, "Random and Exogenous Variation,".

The default Distributional attributes in the netWorks application are

C_MsgNoise (default:Exponential(1), max:90)
BitErrorRate (default:Exponential(1))
BlockErrorRate (default:Exponential(1))
ErrorFreeSeconds (default:Exponential(1))
TimeToFailure (default:Exponential(10000))
TimeToRestore (default:Exponential(1))
CallHoldingTime (default:Exponential(1))
InterCallTime (default:Exponential(1))
