Subject: Re: [RESEND PATCH 1/3] netem/iproute2 solving correlated loss issue

enhances netem module as follows:

- add deterministic loss generation according to a pattern that can be 
specified in a file in the iproute2 command line
- new statistical models for generation of correlated loss (the existing 
model does not work), including loss models commonly used in literature 
(bernoulli, Gilbert, Gilbert Elliot) and the new GI (General and 
Intuitive model)
- enhanced logging functionality for loss events in dmesg
