In other scripts I've rejected this at this step, instead of depending
on failure when sending the burst option to pktgen. Like:

https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/blob/master/pktgen/pktgen_sample04_many_flows.sh#L31-L33

Hmmm, maybe above comment need to be adjusted...

This comment is confusing, maybe just remove. Didn't think burst is a
valid use-case.
