[dpdk-dev] Is it possible to get symmetric hash from RSS for a given flow

[Stefan Baranoff]

Has anyone already applied this logic to IP only load balancing to get
SRC/DST and DST/SRC on the same queue and come up with an RSK value? If not
I'll spend some time with a calculator and see if I can get one.

Thanks,
Stefan
