Maximum of 991 internal and max 8 uplinks



From offical documentation:page 17  (http://pubs.vmware.com/nsx-63/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/nsx_63_admin.pdf)

Distributed Logical Router

The DLR provides East-West distributed routing with tenant IP address space and data path isolation.

Virtual machines or workloads that reside on the same host on different subnets can communicate with one another without having to traverse a traditional routing interface.

A logical router can have eight uplink interfaces and up to a thousand internal interfaces.

An uplink interface on a DLR generally peers with an ESG, with an intervening Layer 2 logical transit switch between the DLR and the ESG. An internal interface on a DLR peers with a virtual machine hosted on an ESX hypervisor with an intervening logical switch between the virtual machine and the DLR.
