Claim One:
1. A design structure embodied in a non-transitory machine readable storage medium for at least one of designing, manufacturing, and testing a design, the design structure comprising: a network traffic generation system comprising: a data store of transition windows defined for different defined scales, wherein the number of defined scales is indicated by an integer ‘n’; an ‘n’-state Markov modified Poisson process (MMPP) model configured to generate packets with different distributions, wherein the number of states directly corresponds to the number of defined scales; a packet scheduler coupled to the ‘n’-state MMPP model; traffic generation parameter computing logic comprising program code enabled to compute traffic generation parameters for different scales according to respective states of the ‘n’-state MMPP model identified within different transition windows in the data store for the different scales, wherein each respective state represents a scale range in a time range and is distributed with transition probabilities for transitioning from an idle state to a bursty state and from the bursty state to the idle state; and a packet transmitter coupled to the packet scheduler.
