I understood that it's not per neighbour, but it's like one
process/task for rib-in, rib-out and keepalive. And routing-instances
live in separate set of three processes/tasks.
I guess it shouldn't be too hard to further split rib-out per
update-group, but you'll quickly run out of cores and start to pay
context switch tax.
