A little bit of panic, no good answer but eventually figured myself. Conclusion I made was loopback at last device did not work as expected for more than three devices. Adding a second Ethernet card and sending around the ring however worked as expected, work counter increased as expected sending the "right way" around and not much happened as expected then sending the other way around so I consider it as solved as possible for me.
