variate generation

I was trying to understand how to use R to generate distributions of data, for example, uniform, and use the data in a program. I send raw bytes to the server. Is there a recommended way or book that I should read to understand this ?

I use R but this is a beginner question. When I plot the no: of bytes against time I would like to ensure that over a period of 5 minutes the data fits a uniform distribution or an exponential one. This is to stress the SUT.

And what distribution would that be ....

R provides many built in distributions, but if those aren't enough for
you, you can check:

Hi,

          I plot no: of bytes against time and find the distribution
curve using R. These bytes are sent from the client to the server.

Is there a way to generate bytes randomly using R according to a
distribution ? I would like to send these bytes to the server. Hope I am
not misguided here. My goal is to simulate a certain distribution of
bytes.



Thanks,

Mohan
