Hi Adrian,
Hah! I wonder why the key from the T3 NIC that Robert committed was so
.. terrible then.
Are you saying that the actual byte order is totally reversed, or just endian?
The 32-bit word order of your array is reversed. The last 4 bytes
should be the first, etc. Have a look at the values in the Microsoft spec.
I think that was Roberts main concern with using a randomised key at
startup. It sounds Netapp have already done a lot of the work that I
was thinking about in the back of my mind - I'll add that to my TODO
list so we can write a random key generation function at boot time.
It's still useful to select the Microsoft value e.g. with a tunable,
since it allows easy verification when folk are implementing RSS.
later,
Peter.
