also - try to play with one router instance at the time.
start one instance - for example R1, without idlepc configured, wait
till the router completly starts, type a few enters in the console
window of R1.
now in the console of dynagen type:
idlepc get R1
choose the values with *
if the <idlepc get R1> does not return a value with a * choose the
one that has the biggest number attached. you will see the cpu
utilization droping from 100% under 2-3% (if the router has blank
configuration)
save the idlepc in the net file for instance of R1
stop R1
start R2
repeat process
