The project has a start_capture(self) from class SaiDataplaneImpl as a function starting capturing.
Now this method starts capturing on all ports and it doesn't have possibility to choose only one port to start capturing.
However when there is a tool which stops capturing on one port automatically after getting buffer from this port, it can cause some bugs.
Using start_capture() for restarting capturing automatically stopped causes restarting capturing on all other ports and loosing their buffer content.
So, it is needed to add possibility to start capturing on one port without.
A solution can be a refactoring start_capture(self) from class SaiDataplaneImpl
An alternative solution is to add a new function.
