The problem that it may be used in generic RSS flags which has no the context. Also even in the case of flow API context could have no L4 protocol at all. Is UDP checksum 0 treated as no checksum and go to default queue or treated as a regular checksum with value equal to 0? I tend to agree that 3 flags is too much for the feature, but one flag without properly defined meaning is not good as well. I just want rules to be defined and documented.
