traffic flows using MGEN

A new Traffic Tool has been added to the Tools menu. You can use this tool to create traffic flows between source and destination nodes.
When you click to create or edit a flow, the dialog shown below appears. Clicking on the source node button allows you to choose a node that will send traffic and destination node a node that will listen and log received traffic. IP addresses are automatically entered based on selected nodes, or you can choose addresses from a list. A few preset traffic patterns are defined to help get you started using MGEN.
When the scenario is started, MGEN scripts are generated on each of the nodes. Each flow has a start (and optional stop) time. You can choose to autostart all flows after the emulation is running or manually start and stop them.

To use this feature, you should get MGEN from here. The nightly snapshot for MGEN and protolib are recommended.
