they are, when the interfaces between the edge and the core smooth them, or 
when they are so small (much web and email) that their behavior is 
essentially a packet for packet exchange between peers, (video) their 
traffic is essentially a not-very-variable rate fixed data stream, or 
(voip) a bimodal data stream that is fixed rate when on and otherwise is 
off. I would conjecture that where you get sloping behaviors is with 
essentially random traffic (NFS) or sum-of-sawtooth TCP file transfers.
