Subject: flow: flow_hash_symmetric_l4() don't hash UDP ports.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3e3eda957144b07379c8376b42cfcd1b634e1a48;p=openvswitch

flow: flow_hash_symmetric_l4() don't hash UDP ports.

There is no reason to believe that the source and destination ports
will be symmetric in a bidirectional UDP stream.  This patch no
longer uses them for symmetric hashing.
