Our next experiment is just to make sure that the results obtained previously are still valid for the case of estimating a proportion.

# Point to your pcap
pcap=../pcaps/equinix-chicago.dirB.20130529-135900.UTC.anon.pcap 
for ID in {1..100}
do
python estimate-ratio.py random.$ID $pcap --rows ROWS --columns COLUMNS \
  --numPackets PACKETS --maxIter 100 --averageFunction mean \
  --dropProbability PDROP --digestSize 32
done

As the figures below show, results are similar as previously: all the implementations for the xi and hash functions seem to provide the same standard error.
