It appears (if I compared the text correctly) the above only move a few trailing words to the next line, why?

Maybe this is clearer.

If you are running pktgen and your application together, you have to start up
each one a bit differently to make sure they share the resources like memory,
huge page files and ports. I will use two Pktgens running on the same machine,
which just means you have imagine your application as one of the Pktgen instances.
