+Sample pillar with port range and port offset
+
+This is usefull in listen blocks for definition of multiple servers
+that differs only by port number in port range block. This situation
+can be result of multiple single-thread servers deployed in multi-core
+environment to better utilize the available cores.
+
+For example five contrail-api workers occupy ports ``9100-9104``.
+This can be achieved by using ``port_range_length`` in the pillar,
+``port_range_length: 5`` in this case.
+For skipping first worker (``worker_id 0``), because it has other
+responsibilities and to avoid overloading it by http requests
+use the ``port_range_start_offset`` in the pillar,
+``port_range_start_offset: 1`` in this case, it will only use ports
+9101-9104 (skipping 9100).
+
+- ``port_range_length`` parameter is used to calculate port range end
+- ``port_range_start_offset`` will skip first n ports in port range
+
+For backward compatibility, the name of the first server in port range
+has no ``pN`` suffix.
+
+The following sample will result in
