As Jeremy mentioned, adding the verify argument may be worthwhile, but
maybe only if we actually identify a usecase where we wouldn't want to
do the verification.
I also have two other points:
1. Do we want a decorator that does both - starting and stopping? Is the
idea to have all methods that require a certain state to be decorated
and in that case we don't need this? E.g. if there are multiple
configuration steps, only the first one stops the ports (if started) and
we start the ports only when a method needs that (such as starting pkt
fwd)? I think this workflow should be documented in the class docstring
(the important part being that starting and stopping of ports is done
automatically).
2. Do we want decorators that start/stop just one port? I guess this is
basically useless with the above workflow.
