Constructs an exponential random variable with a specified mean.

Parameters

m	Mean value for the random variable

ns3::ExponentialVariableImpl::ExponentialVariableImpl	(	double	m,
		double	b
	)

Constructs an exponential random variable with specified mean and upper limit.

Since exponential distributions can theoretically return unbounded values, it is sometimes useful to specify a fixed upper limit. Note however when the upper limit is specified, the true mean of the distribution is slightly smaller than the mean value specified: $m - b/(e^{b/m}-1)$ .
