[dpdk-dev] i40e mbuf->rss indication

[Chilikin, Andrey]

Hi Hanoh,

Could you please explain what do you mean by *wrong hash value*?

i40e calculates hash value for TCP/UDP using 4-tuple: L3 source/destination addresses and L4 source/destination ports. It does not use IP protocol, as TCP and UDP already separated to different PCTYPEs at HW level. Could this be the root cause of the problem you are seeing?

Regards,
Andrey
