 Replying to [comment:32 robgjansen]:
 > Following arma's advice in #4486, I suggest we use the large-m2.4xlarge
 topology. Its both distributed with Shadow (resource/scallion-
 hosts/large-m2.4xlarge.tar.xz) and also exists in the current EC2 image
 (~/workspace/large-m2.4xlarge).

 I'm changing my mind.

 After doing a sample experiment with the large-m2.4xlarge.tar.xz model
 distributed with Shadow, I'm now thinking we should use the model from
 #6401 instead. The reason is that in my sample experiment, bulk data only
 accounts for about 10% of the network load, whereas the PETS 2008 exit
 traffic study says it is 40%, and the NSS 2010 study said it was 52%. I've
 already analyzed the load to be more approximately correct in the #6401
 model.

 Sorry to flip-flop. If you've already run the experiments, the results are
 probably useful anyway.

 Thoughts?
