Hello,
My DPDK application requires bidirectional TCP flows to have the same RSS
hash however default RSS hashing is *asymmetric*.
There are posts such as:
http://dpdk.info/ml/archives/dev/2014-February/001460.html
which point to a symmetric RSS key(0x6d5a). I have tried using it but it is
still hashing bi-directional flows separately. I am using an 82599 NIC.
Have others come across this? What other options are available(I presume
S/W hashing)?
Appreciate any help I can get on this :)
#define RSS_HASH_KEY_LENGTH 40
static uint8_t hash_key[RSS_HASH_KEY_LENGTH] = {
0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A,
0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A,
0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A,
0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A,
0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A, 0x6D, 0x5A,
};
// ethernet rx config
static struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
.rxmode = {
.mq_mode = ETH_MQ_RX_RSS,
.split_hdr_size = 0,
.header_split = 0, /**< Header Split disabled */
.hw_ip_checksum = 1, /**< IP checksum offload enabled */
.hw_vlan_filter = 0, /**< VLAN filtering disabled */
.jumbo_frame = 0, /**< Jumbo Frame Support disabled */
.hw_strip_crc = 0, /**< CRC stripped by hardware */
},
.rx_adv_conf = {
.rss_conf = {
.rss_key = hash_key,
.rss_hf = ETH_RSS_PROTO_MASK,
},
},
.txmode = {
.mq_mode = ETH_MQ_TX_NONE,
},
};
Thanks,
Kam

Thank you Jeriel. 0x00 0x01 works and I can get bi-directional symmetry but
you are right, it compromises the packet distribution. I am seeing vastly
different 5 tuples hashed with the same value.
Will let you know if I find a better alternative.

Hi DPDK community,
Any better RSS hash keys out there?

Hi guys
I40e has hardware offload of symmetric hashing. Patch set has been sent out during R1.8 time slot, but it will be in R2.0.

If the RSS scope is limited to IP addresses (2-tuple instead of a
5-tuple), do we have a symmetric distribution with the default RSS key
provided by DPDK with 82599 NICs?
Thanks,
