modelling interarrival times

Hello, I am interested to model inter arrival times for my design based on exponential distribution. I first tried to write a simple model which given below. I have two clarification...

Hi rbugalho,

Thanks for the reply. I am happy that I got your answer. I am interested to know the reason for using log and uniform distribution for exponential distribution. Is there any specific advantage using the log function instead of exponential, like will it help in the design synthesis.

One final question:

Suppose, i wish to generate 10GbE, with a frame size of 1500 bytes (12000 bits). So the number of frames should be 10*10(^9) / 12000 = 833333.33 frames/second. So the inter arrival frame rate should be 1/ 833333.33 = 1.6 microseconds.. Should i model this interarrival time through a counter? Is there any other way..

thanks for your time and help :),
