        This class defines the interface for a generator core that will create
        a random traffic specific to the parameters below. This core uses
        PyTrafficGen to create and inject the synthetic traffic.

        :param duration: The number of ticks for the generator core to generate
        traffic.
        :param rate: The rate at which the synthetic data is read/written.
        :param block_size: The number of bytes to be read/written with each
        request.
        :param min_addr: The lower bound of the address range the generator
        will read/write from/to.
        :param max_addr: The upper bound of the address range the generator
        will read/write from/to.

        requests. The write percentage would be equal to 100 - rd_perc.

        generator before stopping generation.
