 * Extract data from a file, used to measure the transfer rates
 * for various stream formats. 
 *
 * E.g. Use a gzipped file to measure the transfer rates for 
 * compressed data
 * Use an MPEG file to measure the transfer rates of 
 * Multimedia data formats
 * Use a plain BMP file to measure the transfer rates of 
 * Uncompressed data
 *
 * This is beneficial especially in measuring bandwidth across WAN
 * links where data compression takes place before data transmission
