If I understand correctly, PF_RING calculates a hash (which is the same in
both directions of the flow) using packet header informations to distribute
software among subscribers in a pfring cluster if "cluster_per_flow" mode
is selected, like the pfring snort DAQ does. However, in case of fragmented
traffic, some fields like source & destination ports are present only in
the packet that contains the lvl4 header.

So, is enable_ip_defrag=1 needed to correctly distribute flows among
cluster instances in the case of fragmented traffic?

Thanks,
Alessandro.
