Hi, unfortunately I have no experience with testbed.
But the configuration should be 1:2|3 3:4|0 0:2 (fixed spacing) I would assume that peers get connected like you said you expect them. I am not sure why they don't; might be a bug in testbed. In general if peer A connects to peer B you should have a bi-directional connection (at core level). So the output you posted does not match the configuration above. grothoff may know more about topology and testbed though. BR > On 20.
