RG - Random Number Generator for the Command Line

Description

When executed repeatedly from the command line or a script, rg preserves the integrity of its internal random number generator via the option -I (capital i). Generating N random numbers using the -N option is thus the same as calling rg N times with the -I option.

Included is also a new command-line program microsleep that allows timed delays of processing with precision of 0.01 second.

Usage

The random number generator with microsleep is used in unix scripting languages to create realistic network traffic simulations in real testbed networks in combination with various existing network traffic generators. It is used for research and teaching in the area of network security.
