Thanks for the v2!

nit: please note that these are hex numbers,
     next value after 0x19 is 0x1a, not 0x20.

What gives me pause here is the number of flow sub-types we define
for GTP hashing.

My understanding of GTP is limited to what I just read on Wikipedia.

IIUC the GTPC vs GTPU distinction comes down to the UDP port on
which the protocol runs? Are the frames also different?

I'm guessing UL/DL are uplink/downlink but what's EH?

How do GTPU_V4_FLOW, GTPU_EH_V4_FLOW, GTPU_UL_V4_FLOW, and
GTPU_DL_V4_FLOW differ?

Key question is - are there reasonable use cases that you can think of
for enabling GTP hashing for each one of those bits individually or can
we combine some of them?
