Yes, but I'm not sure why only 'duration' should be a positional argument.

I don't think it is 'wrong', but I think it's better to treat
'duration' just as same as 'frequency' because
frequency and duration are two independent things in this case.
(duration is not dependent on frequency)

So I thought making an option for duration like below

$ sudo ./samples/bpf/sampleip -F <Frequecny> -D <Duration>

is better than below.

$ sudo ./samples/bpf/sampleip -F <Frequecny> <Duration>

I am not insisting strongly on this, so if I have misunderstood something,
I'll respect the existing way.
