Using a specific key seems fragile though in that a different one is
needed for e.g. ipv4 and ipv6.  An issue with VXLAN and GENEVE, yes?
Will support for XOR hashing address this sufficiently or is that not
acceptable to you? Or alternatively a modified Toeplitz, e.g. this

suggests Mellanox supports that. WDYT?
