Hi,
Could somebody point me to the mathemetical base (papers?) for the hashing
functions used in the routing code? e.g. rt_hash_code()
Or is it just trial and error to find a hashing function with a uniform
distribution? (I dont believe it is!)
Also, why is the source address a part of the hashing function? As far as
I can see, in the case of a router, wherever the packet might be coming
from (src), its outgoing path would ONLY depend on the destination
address and hence the outgoing interface.
Regards,
Amit
