By default, the same configuration will result in the same behavior even though many parts of the simulation are [randomized](Simulation/Randomness.md).
This reproducibility is often necessary (i.e. for debugging a scenario).
However, to avoid biases from this "fixed" randomness it is often useful to run the simulation multiple times and perform analysis on the ensemble of results.

Likewise, in the real world different days have different traffic and it is more reliable to draw conclusions from multiple days rather than a single day.

To change the default randomness, either option **--seed** or option **--random** must be used. The first option sets a user-defined intialization for the random number generator whereas the other picks a random seed (which will be different on every run).
