I am not sure what you mean by a testbed here. If you are trying to run
many experiments, simply change X in addr_mask. Or are you limited by
/16 addresses for some reason?

For official tests, you have to use one isolated /16 subnet for each
test for both PolyMix-2 and PolyMix-3
For other tests, you are welcome to edit rbt_ips and srv_ips directly
and specify whatever IPs you want. See release notes on tips how to
customize the PolyMix-3 workload:

You cannot start client IP addresses with 10.X.50.1 if you want to
replicate second or third bake-off results. For your custom needs, you
can use whatever address ranges you want.

Yes, we know that ignoring last two octets was an oversight and will
eventually implement the feature you ask for. For now, you can always
specify the IP ranges manually, just as with PolyMix-2.
