In the RSS, after the hashing, rss looks at one indirection table (using
the hash value obtained from the hashing algo) which has the index of the

All,
I found this peculiar thing regarding the hashing in RSS. According to the
hashing algorithm, for a particular source and destination ip address and
port numbers, the packets should be always hashed to the same queue since
the hashing algorithm uses only a fixed secret key in addition to the
