I think this can become:

from .traffic_generator import TrafficGenerator

Do we need to add an optional number of packet descriptors attribute? I
realize that is a SUT testpmd param, not a TREX param, but presumably when
we gather stats, we want to store the descriptor count with it.

Should it be float = 60, so the default is coming from the function, and
not a "default" which is coming from the testsuite? If not, I guess the
"default" comment belongs in the testsuite?

Okay just checking... so if we do not do this, even after binding the port
to vfio-pci we cannot send traffic up to 2000 bytes?
