+ 'type' - The specification type - denotes how IMIX is specified.

+ Other types (ex: table-of-proportions) can be added in future.
+ 'genome' - The Genome Encoding of Pkt-Sizes and Ratio for IMIX.
+ The Ratio is inferred from the number of particular geneome characters
+ Genome encoding is described in RFC 6985. This specification is closest
+ to the method described in section 6.2 of RFC 6985.
+ Ex: 'aaaaaaaddddg' denotes ratio of 7:4:1 of packets sizes 64:512:1518.
+ Note: Exact-sequence is not maintained, only the ratio of packets
+ is ensured.
