I add these because we have scale application scenarios for modern protocols VXLAN-GPE/GENEVE: +\item In scenarios where the same flow passing through different tunnels is expected to be received in the same queue, + warm caches, lessing locking, etc. are optimized to obtain receiving performance. Maybe the legacy GRE, VXLAN-GPE and GENEVE? But it has a little crossover. Thanks.But VXLAN-GPE/GENEVE can use source port for entropy. It is recommended that the UDP source port number be calculated using a hash of fields from the inner packet That is best because it allows end to end control and is protocol agnostic.Yes. I agree with this, I don't think we have an argument on this point right now.:) For VXLAN-GPE/GENEVE or other modern tunneling protocols, we have to deal with scenarios where the same flow passes through different tunnels. Having them hashed to the same rx queue, is hard to do via outer headers.All that is missing is symmetric Toepliz and all is well?The scenarios above or in the commit log also require inner headers.Hmm I am not sure I get it 100%. Could you show an example with inner header hash in the port #, hash is symmetric, and you still have trouble? It kinds of sounds like not enough entropy is not the problem at this point.Sorry for the late reply. :) For modern tunneling protocols, yes.You now want to drop everything from the header except the UDP source port. Is that a fair summary?For example, for the same flow passing through different VXLAN tunnels, packets in this flow have the same inner header and different outer headers. Sometimes these packets of the flow need to be hashed to the same rxq, then we can use the inner header as the hash input. Thanks!So, they will have the same source port yes?
Yes. The outer source port can be calculated using the 5-tuple of the original packet, and the outer ports are the same but the outer IPs are different after different directions of the same flow pass through different tunnels.
Any way to use that
We use it in monitoring, firewall and other scenarios.
so we don't depend on a specific protocol?
Yes, selected tunneling protocols can be used in this scenario like this. Thanks.
