netem: revised correlated loss generator
This is a patch originated with Stefano Salsano and Fabio Ludovici. It provides several alternative loss models for use with netem. This patch adds two state machine based loss models.

+ Correlated Loss Generator models

+ Added generation of correlated loss according to the
