According to the 82599 datasheet

Flow Director Filters: up to 32 KB Flows by Hash Filters or up to 8 KB Perfect 
Match Filters

I create  filters like below:
./ethtool -K eth5 ntuple off
./ethtool -K eth5 ntuple on
./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 0 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 0 
./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 0 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 0 
./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type tcp4 vlan 1 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 1 
./ethtool -U eth5 flow-type udp4 vlan 1 vlan-mask 0xF000 action 1 

My questions are:

#1. The above are hash filter or perfect match filter? What is hash filter?

#2. How many number of filters I can set? how can I know the size of the 
filters?

Thanks
jon
