Two problems with the comparison: Port numbers can be collected into a 32 bit register in network byte order directly from the TCP packet without taking two 16 bit values and shifting and or'ing them. Worse: he folded the jenkins algorith result with h ^= h >> 16; h ^= h >> 8; Destroying the coverage of the function. I, for one, am not suprised that artifacts appeared in the comparison as a result of this destruction of the coverage of the hashing function. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
