> 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.
