Pareto distribution problem

[dtesch]

Dear Davide,

Are the Pareto distribution fully implemented?

I ran several simulations by varying the values of the alpha-on, alpha-off and r parameters and did not observe any changes in the simulation result.

I noticed that the parameters of the Pareto distribution change the value of the GlobalParams::probability_of_retransmission, according to the code below:

GlobalParams::probability_of_retransmission = GlobalParams::packet_injection_rate * pow((1 - r), (1 / Aoff - 1 / Aon));

It is not clear to me what the probability_of_retransmission is and what it is used for.

Thank you!
