The issue is seen with Ubuntu14.04 and Ubuntu16.04. A possible solution for the issue is to increase the size of the receive buffer in libnetlink.c Additional information: ===================================================================================================== Ubuntu16 system stack@cluster04:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
