Hello,
how can I get and set the flow id of packets that are processed by the
distributor? I'd like to go with burst mode, so I only have 15 bits of
flow_id to work with according to the docs. But where do they come
from? My assumption is that its the 5-tuple hash (ip_src, ip_dst,
l4_port_src, l4_port_dst, l4_proto), but do I have to calculate the
hash manually or is there already code in DPDK that does this for me?

The docs also say: "As it does so, it examines the =E2=80=9Ctag=E2=80=9D =
=E2=80=93 stored in
the RSS hash field in the mbuf =E2=80=93 for each packet and records what t=
ags
are being processed by each worker."

Does this mean my workers have to set the tag field manually?

Kind regards
