From 3d709f69a3e749f4d1c195dab499df8ab66e25a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 16:40:27 +0200 Subject: ipv6: Use hash-threshold instead of modulo-N Now that each nexthop stores its region boundary in the multipath hash function's output space, we can use hash-threshold instead of modulo-N in multipath selection. This reduces the number of checks we need to perform during lookup, as dead and linkdown nexthops are assigned a negative region boundary. In addition, in contrast to modulo-N, only flows near region boundaries are affected when a nexthop is added or removed. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Acked-by: David Ahern Signed-off-by: David S.
