Netmap: Failed to run multi-thread using pkt-gen

[Luigi Rizzo]

how many queues do you have ?
you need to run with as many threads as there are queues.
If hyperthreading is on you are likely to have 12 virtual cores,
and depending on the OS the driver might limit the number to 8
(this is what happens on FreeBSD).

pkt-gen with a single thread should tell you how many queues
are available

cheers
