Sorry for the noise... just read the man page and it's actually explained
there.

On enqueueing, each packet is assigned to a hash bucket, based on
(i) Source address
(ii) Destination address
(iii) Source port
If these are available. SFQ knows about ipv4 and ipv6 and also UDP, TCP
and ESP. Packets with other protocols are hashed based on the 32bits
representation of their destination and the socket they belong to. A flow
corresponds mostly to a TCP/IP connection.
