OK, I'll drop this part.
Why: I admit that this cleanup is unnecessary as initialize_if is deprecated I just didn't
consider cleaning initialize_if harmful (the script is still used).

I'll have to split command into two, as only 'sh -c' can handle '&&' (and ROD_BASE doesn't
use 'sh -c')

OK. I'm not sure, if it's best to have ROD inside manipulate_route, but I'll keep it for
simplicity.

I intended to replace ns-udpsender with make_background_tcp_traffic call. But that
probably not covering the test scenario. But, even the code in ns-udpsender.c is very
simple I'm not sure if it's possible to do this replacement.
Generally, I'd like to get rid of these old C programs and use netstress as much as possible.

I'll do.

Yes. It's because loading driver takes some time, test was failing without that.
