Surprisingly high for a an experiment of all combinations from 0 to 10 flows of 
each (=120 combinations of up to max 20 flows together). Indeed using birthday 
paradox, collision counting we calculated that on average each experiment (the 
120 combinations) has 6.5 collisions. The one in the presentation had (by 
accident) the least (5), but others had more than 10.
We did also experiments with an extra 20MBps UDP flow, and in the first run, 
one of the collisions was in combination 1Cubic-1Dctcp. So with only 3 flows, 
the DCTCP and UDP flow got in the same queue, and DCTCP completely starved… For 
large amounts, statistics apply; for small amounts, Murphy ;-).

Surprising to people unfamiliar with the birthday paradox, perhaps. The set 
associative hash produces results that are much more intuitively reasonable.
