QSPEC & TMOD

Hi all, 

Section 3.3.1 Traffic Model Parameter says: 

"
   o rate (r)
   o bucket size (b)
   o peak rate (p)
   o minimum policed unit (m)

   All 4 of the sub-parameters MUST be included in the TMOD parameter.
   The TMOD parameter can be set to describe the traffic source.  If,
   for example, TMOD is set to specify bandwidth only, then set r = peak
   rate = p, b = large, m = large.  As another example if TMOD is set
   for TCP traffic, then set r = average rate, b = large, p = large.
"

In reviews we got the comment that the term "large" is a bit fuzzy. Wouldn't
it be better to  
* replace the term "large" with a specific value
* add a separate bandwidth parameter
* indicating the parameter now carries a bandwidth value rather than being
implicit in the encoding of the parameters

Ciao
Hannes
