Hi,  
I would like to create a random traffic distribution in my scenario by adding pauses with standard deviation. Currently I am using `NormalWithStdDevDuration`.

Is it possible to provide a seed so the simulation will be repeatable?

Thanks

Hi,

No, that’s not currently possible. Contributions welcome.
