In reference to Ipsec Term 00, here is the current work in 
progress text for IMIX.
We are looking for some input from the reflector.

Our existing defintion in IPsec Term OO is:

Definition:
A defined traffic stream consisting of a preset mixture 
of packet sizes which does not attempt to characterize specific network 
traffic. It emulates potential real-world traffic scenarios in a 
test environment.
Discussion:
Several facilities, including the National Laboratory for 
Applied Network Research, have collected and reported traffic 
distribution by monitoring live Internet links. The study 
concluded that in a simulation environment, a small mix of 
packets in a preset ratio can resemble to a certain degree the 
live traffic that was monitored during the study. One of the 
mixes is called (simple) and consists of 7 parts 64 byte 
packets, 4 parts 570 byte packets and 1 1518 byte
packet.
