* is a base class for implementing workers. A worker is basically a class that is activated by DpdkDeviceList#startDpdkWorkerThreads()
* and runs on a designated core. When it runs it can do whatever the user wants it to do. The most common use it running in an
* endless loop and receive, analyze and send packets using one or more DpdkDevice instances. It can do all kinds of processing for
* these packets. The only restriction for a worker class is that it must implement the 3 abstract methods stated in this class-interface
* for start running, stop running and get the core ID the worker is running on.
