I will update it to take these parameters from env variable and/or command line.

As suggested, this will be updated to use '-b 0'. You can find it in next revision.

As suggested, I will update the command to run in background with '--one-off' and wait for the listener.
Extending existing GenerateTraffic() class would be beneficial. I will update it accordingly.

As suggested, test will be updated to use test list for testing the protocols with speeds separately.

You can find all the changes in the next revision.
