By default, 4 network interfaces are created per subtest in a dedicated net namespace. Each netns has a dedicated pair of v4 and v6 addresses. Future tests will need more.
Simply always creating more network interfaces per test will increase the execution time for all other tests, for no other benefits. So now it is possible to change this number only when needed, by setting ifaces_nr when calling 'reset' and 'init_shapers', e.g. ifaces_nr=8 reset "Subtest title" ifaces_nr=8 init_shapers Note that it might also be interesting to decrease the default value to 2 to reduce the setup time, especially when a debug kernel config is being used.
