Actually someone (I think it was Evgeniy in fact) made such comparisons and found in his studies that not only does the current ehash xor hash function distribute about as well as jenkins, it's significantly cheaper to calculate :-) If you find jenkins is better, great, but I hope it works that way for many workloads. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
