Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a developer trying to get familiar with the DPDK hash library. I tried to make and use a hash table successfully.

During the development I came across a variable

/** Number of items per bucket. */
#define RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES 8

defined inside:

dpdk-20.11.3/dpdk-stable-20.11.3/lib/librte_hash /rte_cuckoo_hash.h

Why does the library take this value as 8, is there any particular reason for this? what if it is 16,32... etc.

I am using DPDK 20.11.3 LTS.

Please help.
