I can get 10 instances to run on the x520 if I comment out the IGB worker in node.cfg. I’m wondering if the issue has to due with memory allocations done when the netmap kernel module loads. Do we need to tweak them in modprobe.d to account for two instances requesting X number of buffers?

"data_forward_rate_Mbps": 330.0390,
 "data_drop_rate_Mbps": 0.0000,
 "packet_forward_rate_kpps": 71.5200,
 "packet_drop_rate_kpps": 0.0000,
