ifconfig should work, you don’t need a physical interface.
There was a commit that was specifically for this issue: global discovery socket needs to be marked SO_REUSEPORT to allow by highperformancecoder · Pull Request #276 · AravisProject/aravis · GitHub

Could you open a bug report, explaining how you are configuring the interfaces. Please run your tests with -d all:3 .
Thanks.
