From 905e4a4163c4e807daf1f1f6b8f958e762a834a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 14:29:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: cleanup flow director hash computation to improve performance This change cleans up the layout of the flow director data, and the algorithm used to calculate the hash resulting in a 35x / 3500% performance increase versus the old flow director hash computation. The overall effect is only a 1% increase in transactions per second though due to the fact that only 1 packet in 20 are actually hashed upon. TCP_RR before: Socket Size Request Resp. Elapsed Trans.
